Measures for Surgical Procedures

This table shows our percentage of compliance with every patient care standard being measured.  A score of 91% means we were compliant with patient care best practices 91% of the time.

This table illustrates measures for past fiscal years and for each quarter of the current fiscal year.  It shows our percentage of compliance with patient care best practices for adults diagnosed with heart attack.

+ The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) audits a sample of patient records to make sure that reported numbers are accurate. The CMS process lags several months behind and so our most recent results have not been validated by CMS yet. Our validation scores are consistently good and we anticipate that the results shown accurately reflect performance for that interval.
