This number represents the number of times patients experienced hip fractures for every 1, people discharged.
Hospital staff should ensure patients know how to request assistance when they want to get out of bed. Rooms should be kept free of all hazards that may cause a patient to trip and fall. Patients should be provided with non-slip socks and garments that will not get in the way when they are trying to move. A collapsed lung is when air leaks out of the lung and goes into the area between the lungs and the chest wall.
It can happen when a doctor or nurse is inserting a catheter, a feeding tube, or even a pacemaker. This kind of lung injury can be serious and can cause severe chest pain and other complications. This number represents the number of times patients experienced collapsed lungs for every 1, people discharged. A blood clot is a gathering of blood cells in a vein, which can be caused by damage to tissue during surgery.
Most blood clots form in the leg but the clot can break away and travel through the bloodstream to other areas of the body. If the clot travels to the lungs and gets stuck, it can prevent oxygen from getting into the blood. This can lead to chest pain, unconsciousness, and even death.

Hospitals can use Computerized Physician Order Entry CPOE systems to order medications for patients in the hospital, instead of writing out prescriptions by hand. Good CPOE systems alert the doctor if they try to order a medication that could cause harm, such as prescribing an adult dosage for a child.
CPOE systems help to reduce medication errors in the hospital. Hospitals can earn up to points for using a well-functioning CPOE system in most areas of the hospital.
If the bar codes do not match, this signals there is an error, giving nurses and doctors the chance to confirm they have the right patient, right medication, and right dose. Bar code medication administration BCMA systems are proven to reduce the risk that a hospital accidentally gives the wrong medication to a patient. Hospitals earn up to points for using a well-functioning bar coding system for all medication orders, and making sure it is used properly to keep patients safe.
Healthcare workers can help stop infection and illness by carefully cleaning their hands. When hospital staff does not carefully wash their hands, they can spread germs from one patient to another and cause someone to become seriously ill. Hospitals can earn up to 60 points for having a handwashing policy and evaluating how hospital workers follow that policy. Effective communication about medicine prevents misunderstandings that could lead to serious problems for a patient. Higher scores indicate more effective communication than lower scores.
The Communication about Discharge measure summarizes how well the hospital staff communicated with patients about the help they would need at home after leaving the hospital.
The measure also summarizes how often patients reported that they were given written information about symptoms or health problems to watch for during their recovery. Educating patients on the steps they need to take during their recovery at home reduces the chances that a patient will need to be readmitted to the hospital.
A hospital that has a strong culture of safety has a well-functioning team with good leaders who catch errors before they can harm a patient. Patients are less likely to experience mistakes if hospital staff works together. Staff should also be comfortable speaking up when they sense an error might happen. Hospitals can earn up to points for measuring culture of safety, providing feedback to staff, and creating new plans to prevent errors. Leaders must make sure that all hospital staff knows what they need to work on and that they are held accountable for improvements.
The hospital should also budget money towards improving safety. Hospitals can earn up to points for having leadership structures that increase awareness of patient safety issues and holding leadership accountable for improvements.
