|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Collected For: | All Records, Calculation, Transmission, Hospital Clinical Data File, Used in calculation of the Joint Commission's aggregate data and in the transmission of the Hospital Clinical Data file. | ||||||
| Definition: | Calculated measures results for each episode of care (EOC) that is processed through a measure algorithm. Used to summarize the outcome for an EOC that is processed through a specific measure algorithm. | ||||||

| Allowable Values: |
B Category B - Not in Measure Population For rate-based and continuous variable measures: EOC record is not a member of a measure's population. For rate-based-ratio measures: Does not apply. D Category D - In Measure Population For rate-based measures: EOC record is a member of the measure's population and there has not been an occurrence of the measure. For rate-based-ratio measures: Does not apply. For continuous variable measures: EOC record is a member of the measure's population and has sufficient accurate and valid data to compute the measurement. Note: For measures where Improvement Noted As: Decrease in the rate (a lower score or a fewer number of cases in the numerator) e.g., PC-01, CSTK-05, Measure Category Assignment of “D” means that the intent of the measure was met. For aggregate data, the EOC record will be included in the measure denominator only. Note: For continuous variable measures, EOC records that have a Measure Category Assignment of “D” will have an associated Measurement Value. E Category E - In Numerator Population For rate-based measures: EOC record is a member of the measure's population and there has been an occurrence of the measure. For rate-based-ratio measures: Event record is a member of the measure's population and there has been an occurrence of the measure. For continuous variable measures: Does not apply. Note: For measures where Improvement Noted As: Decrease in the rate (a lower score or a fewer number of cases in the numerator) e.g., PC-01, CSTK-05, Measure Category Assignment of “E” means that the intent of the measure was NOT met. For aggregate data, the EOC record will be included in both the measure denominator and numerator U Category U — Not In Numerator Population For rate-based-proportion measures: Does not apply For rate-based-ratio measures: Event record is a member of the measure's population; however, it contains a data element whose allowable value excludes it from the numerator. For continuous variable measures: Does not apply. X Category X — Data Are Missing For rate-based and continuous variable measures: Data are missing that is required to calculate the measure. The record will be rejected by the QIO Clinical Warehouse and the Joint Commission's Data Warehouse. Y Category Y — UTD Allowable Value Does Not Allow Calculation of The Measure For rate-based measures: Does not apply. For rate-based-ratio measures: Event record contains a Date, Time, or Numeric data element with a value of UTD'. For continuous variable measures: EOC record contains a Date, Time, or Numeric data element with a value of UTD'. Note: For continuous variable measures, EOC records that have a Measure Category Assignment of “Y” will not have an associated Measurement Value. | ||||||
