The Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs), developed by the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), identify potential quality and patient safety issues specific to the pediatric inpatient population. HCAI will report hospital-level results on five PDIs - Accidental Puncture or Laceration, Neonatal Blood Stream Infection, Postoperative Respiratory Failure, Postoperative Sepsis, and Central Venous Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infection. The results were generated with the AHRQ software version 2023. This dataset does not include complications acquired in outpatient settings.

This dataset contains the statewide composite patient safety and Adverse Events indicator (PSI) rate used to determine the “Incidence of measurable hospital-acquired conditions” rate for the Let’s Get Healthy California Initiative. PSI rates may not be comparable across years as significant changes were made to composition, definition, and calculation of PSI over time. The current composite PSI includes the following component indicators: pressure ulcer, iatrogenic pneumothorax, in-hospital fall-associated fracture, postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma, postoperative acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, postoperative respiratory failure, perioperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, postoperative sepsis, postoperative wound dehiscence, abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration.

The dataset provides performance ratings for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, inpatient mortality indicators (IMIs), and elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The outcome measures include: operative mortality for isolated CABG; inpatient mortality for acute stroke, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hip fracture, pneumonia, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, carotid endarterectomy, esophageal resection, pancreatic resection, percutaneous coronary intervention; three outcome measures for elective PCI without on-site cardiac surgery: mortality, post-PCI stroke, and post-PCI emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery; postoperative sepsis following elective surgeries. It includes risk-adjusted rates, number of adverse events and cases.

(See Note below regarding 2015 data). The dataset contains hospitalization counts and rates (age 18+), statewide and by county, for 7 potentially-preventable adverse events that occur during a hospital stay. They provide a perspective on complications and iatrogenic events and help assess total incidence within a region. The measures, based upon the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ’s) Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs), include: retained surgical item or unretrieved device fragment, iatrogenic pneumothorax, central venous catheter-related blood stream infection, postoperative wound dehiscence, accidental puncture or laceration, transfusion reaction, and perioperative hemorrhage or hematoma. Note: HCAI is only releasing the first 3 quarters of 2015 data due to a change in the reporting of diagnoses/procedures from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS effective October 1, 2015, and the inability of the AHRQ software to handle both code sets concurrently.

The outcome measures include: operative mortality for isolated CABG; inpatient mortality for acute stroke, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, hip fracture, pneumonia, abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, carotid endarterectomy, esophageal resection, pancreatic resection, percutaneous coronary intervention; three outcome measures for elective PCI without on-site cardiac surgery: mortality, post-PCI stroke, and post-PCI emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It includes risk-adjusted rates, number of adverse events and cases.
