82 | 167.0 | Index | 4.2.17 | 4.0 | HD | Healthcare Delivery | 11.0 | HPS | Hospital and Physician Services | Hospital and physician services refers to care for a patient who is formally admitted (or “hospitalized”) to an institution for treatment and/or care and stays for a minimum of one night in the hospital or other institution. | M300 | Percent of hospitals in the state with a top quality ranking (Grade A) on the Hospital Safety Score | The Hospital Safety Score uses 28 national performance measures from the Leapfrog Hospital Survey, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to produce a single score representing the hospital's overall performance in keeping patients safe from preventable harm and medical errors. A grade "A" represents the best hospital safety score. Being able to provide patient safety and reduced medical errors during normal operations positions the hospital to perform better during health emergencies. | Leapfrog HSS | The Leapfrog Group, Hospital Safety Score (HSS) | 2013—2018 | The measure source data does not include critical access hospitals, specialty hospitals, pediatric hospitals, hospitals in Maryland, territories exempt from public reporting to CMS, and others.
