NH Composite Score Measure The composite quality measure comprises 13 National Quality Forum (NQF)-endorsed long-stay quality measures: Percent of residents with one or more falls with major injury Percent of residents with a urinary tract infection Percent of residents who self-report moderate to severe pain Percent of high-risk residents with pressure ulcers Percent of low-risk residents with loss of bowels or bladder Percent of residents with catheter inserted or left in bladder Percent of residents physically restrained 14
NH Composite Score Measure (cont d) Percent of residents whose need for help with activities of daily living has increased Percent of residents who lose too much weight Percent of residents who have depressive symptoms Percent of residents who received antipsychotic medications Percent of residents assessed and appropriately given flu vaccines* Percent of residents assessed and appropriately given pneumonia vaccines* * The direction of the two vaccination measures are reversed because they are directionally opposite of the other measures. This is accomplished by subtracting the numerator from the denominator to obtain a new numerator. By keeping all measure directions consistent, interpretation of the composite score can be kept as: the lower, the better. 15
