Incidence of Hospital-Acquired Conditions per...
California spends $3.1 billion each year on hospital-acquired infections.[1] This indicator includes incidence of measurable hospital-acquired conditions (per 1,000 discharges). This data is comprised of a composite patient safety indicator, which includes an average of the observed-to-expected ratios of several other selected indicators of quality. The available data is limited and there remains opportunity for further development to establish a more definitive measure. At present, this indicator serves as a useful starting point for examining hospital quality. With sustained and system-wide quality improvement efforts in hospitals, safety and quality of care for patients can be enhanced and billions of dollars saved.
