Edit Reporting Indicators: Unit Mortality

Free text: ===QI domain=== *[[QualityDomain::Safe]] *[[QualityDomain::Effective]] ==Significance== Mortality is heavily influenced by case mix and severity of illness. Any differences in mortality between units or over time should be examined for differences in patient population first. Other Factors affecting mortality include structural and process-related aspects of care. ==Sampling Plan / Procedure== ===Inclusion Criteria=== * 100% of all patients physically present in an unit bed and have a [[Dispo]] of one of the following: ** Died - to morgue ** Died - to OR ** Died - to other ICU ===Exclusion Criteria=== If the patient has a [[Dispo]] "Died - *" in more than one location, only the first one is counted. (E.g. for organ donors) ==Definition and Derivation== ===Numerator=== Num = Total number of patients who died ===Denominator=== Denom = Total number of patients ===Formula=== Unit Mortality (%) = Num / Denom * 100 ==Data Sources== * [[Dispo]] ==SAS Program== X:\Julie\SAS_CFE\CFE_macros\logphiunit.sas == Data Integrity Checks == * [[Query NDC_dx_implying_death_across_encounters]] * [[Query check ICD10 dx implying death must have appropriate dispo]] == Data use == see infobox == Change Log == == Related articles == {{Related Articles}} [[Category:Admit/Discharge]] [[Category:End-of-life related data]]
