Background                             In this analysis, Sample Hospital’s performance and rate of
                                       improvement are compared to that of seven client-selected
and Approach                           competitors, using the 100 Top Hospitals® measures and
                                       methodologies
                                       Measures included in the analysis:
                                        OVERALL performance score
                                        Inpatient mortality                       Average length of stay
                                        Complications                             Emergency department throughput
                                        Healthcare-associated infections*  Inpatient expense per discharge
                                        Mean 30-day mortality                     Operating profit margin
                                        Mean 30-day readmissions                  HCAHPS score (Overall rating question)

                                       Results are displayed as the rank percentile of each
                                       hospital’s performance and rate of improvement compared to
                                       all U.S. hospitals within each hospital’s 100 Top peer group
                                       – Conversion to percentiles allows direct comparison of all
                                         selected hospitals, without regard to peer group

*Healthcare-Associated Infections composite index was included in the Overall Score but is not reported on the matrix graph because there
are insufficient data years to trend. We have shown HAI as a separate bar graph.

Methodology Notes

Watson Health risk-adjustment models used to develop expected values for inpatient
mortality and complications; severity-adjustment model for average length of stay
– Inpatient mortality model only
   • Excludes records with ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ (Z66; V49.86) coded as POA
   • Excludes patients admitted to hospice care (discharged from acute care)
– All models
   • Include palliative care patient records (Z515; V66.7)

All models use Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (AHRQ) Clinical
Classifications Software (CCS) grouping to develop rate tables for calibrating risk and
severity adjustment models

Methodology Notes

Inpatient mortality and complications expected values are normalized by multiplying
them by the observed/expected ratio for each hospital’s comparison group. A z-score
is calculated from each observed and normalized expected value. The z-score is the
ranked metric.

Inpatient mortality and complications high outliers, used for winner exclusions, are
determined by finding the hospitals with statistically worse than expected results at
99% confidence that are also above the outlier group 75th percentile trim point.

Length of stay (LOS) expected values are normalized by multiplying them by the
observed/expected ratio for each hospital’s comparison group. The LOS Index
(observed/normalized expected) is converted into average length of stay in days by
multiplying by the mean LOS of the in-study population.

Methodology Notes

Due to high frequency of invalid POA indicator code ‘0’ in MEDPAR, we have
modified our MEDPAR data processing.
– Valid POA codes are retained (N,Y,W,U,1)
– Where invalid POA code ‘0’ appears records are processed as follows:
   • All principal diagnosis codes (dx) are treated as ‘present on admission’
   • All secondary dx on the CMS exempt list are treated as exempt
   • Secondary dx coded ‘Y’ or ‘W’ more than 50 percent of the time in the Watson Health all-payer data
     base are treated as ‘present on admission’
   • All others are treated as not present on admission

   Note: This reduces false positives for complications and more accurately determines the risk of death and complications,
   and expected length of stay.
