A-11 PREFACE The Technical Notes Appendix Summer in conjunction with the Technical Notes that accompanied the FFY 2006 Hospital Performance Report (HPR) provide important information regarding the analysis and development of the Hospital Performance Report Summer Update (July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007 data). The full Technical Notes describes the methodology of the analyses and outlines the development of the report format and presentation. The Technical Notes Appendix - Summer includes tables that: 1) describe the code-based conditions and DRGs in the report, 2) define readmissions for a complication or infection, 3) display statewide results, 4) categorize all cases readmitted for a complication or infection by specific reasons, 5) present cases that were excluded from analyses, 6) list hospitals excluded from the report, and 7) list valid discharge status codes. These tables contain information that is relevant to the current study period (i.e., Q through Q2-2007). Additional Information: ICD-9-CM codes and DRGs used in the HPR Summer Update are applicable to CMS Grouper Versions 23 and 24. To ensure the integrity of the risk-adjustment models, ratings are not reported when the volume of measured events statewide is less than ten (after exclusions). For example, mortality ratings are not reported for code-based conditions or DRGs with less than ten mortalities statewide. Additionally, ratings for code-based conditions or DRGs with events statewide are based on the first risk factor alone (i.e., Atlas Outcomes predicted probability of death or predicted length of stay, depending on the measure; refer to the full Technical Notes for details). When the number of measured events exceeds 29, risk adjustment models are based on all three risk factors. i

4 In Tables E1 & E2 (Statewide Exclusions from Analysis, by Measure), intermediary hospitalizations are subsequent admissions within 30 days for the same hospital and condition, with a mutually eligible readmission for complication or infection. Intermediary hospitalizations are excluded from the readmission analysis. Transfer-out records are defined as discharge status 02, 43, 63 and 66. See Table G (Valid Discharge Status Codes) for descriptions of discharge status codes. For the readmissions analyses, same day readmissions include records with discharge status 01 and 06 only. See Table G (Valid Discharge Status Codes) for descriptions of discharge status codes. Patients transferred to acute care facilities (short-term, long-term, or federal hospital; discharge status codes 02, 43, 63, 66) are excluded from all analyses except the Transfer to Acute Care percent (reported for Heart Attack Medical Management only). The Hospital Performance Report Summer Update utilizes Atlas Outcomes version 4.0 scoring algorithms. DRG 571-Major Esophageal Disorders was added to the definition of Stomach and Intestinal Bleeding beginning with the 2006 Hospital Performance Report Spring Update. A new condition Kidney Failure Acute replaced the old condition Kidney Failure beginning with the 2006 Hospital Performance Report Winter Update. Kidney Failure Acute: A sudden and rapid loss of kidney function resulting in a build-up of waste products that are normally removed from the body through urine. Because these waste products are toxic, acute kidney failure can be lifethreatening. Acute kidney failure may be caused by trauma, surgery, dehydration, medication or other conditions. ii

5 TABLE A The 31 Code-Based Conditions/Procedures and 20 DRGs in the Hospital Performance Report Summer Update The following table outlines the code-based conditions and procedures (the ICD-9-CM codes and DRGs used to define each medical condition or surgical procedure) and the DRGs included in this report (inpatient discharges from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007). These codes and DRGs are applicable to CMS Grouper Versions 23 and 24. Additional exclusions (clinically complex cases) are identified as footnotes.
