| Notes for Abstraction: |
- Sampling Frequency must be consistent across a discharge time period.
Example:
If the Sampling Frequency for April is monthly, then the Sampling Frequency for May and June must be monthly.
- For Discharge measures (e.g., HBIPS-1, 4, PC-01): Hospitals with five or fewer discharges (both Medicare and Non-Medicare combined) in a quarter are not required to submit patient level data.
- For Event measures (eg., HBIPS-2 and 3): This data element will always be equal to ‘3’ (No, the hospital is not sampling) for the HBIPS event measures (HBIPS-2 and 3).
