The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has now collaborated with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to present information to consumers about the quality and safety of health care in VHA. VHA has approximately 50 percent of Veterans enrolled in the healthcare system who are eligible for Medicare and, therefore, have some choice in how and where they receive inpatient services. VHA has adopted healthcare transparency as a strategy to enhance public trust and to help Veterans make informed choices about their health care.VHA currently reports the following types of quality measures on Hospital Compare:Timely and effective care.Behavioral health.Readmissions and deaths.Patient safety.*Experience of care.

Provides basic information for general acute care hospital buildings such as height, number of stories, the building code used to design the building, and the year it was completed. The data is sorted by counties and cities. Structural Performance Categories (SPC ratings) are also provided. SPC ratings range from 1 to 5 with SPC 1 assigned to buildings that may be at risk of collapse during a strong earthquake and SPC 5 assigned to buildings reasonably capable of providing services to the public following a strong earthquake. Where SPC ratings have not been confirmed by the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) yet, the rating index is followed by 's'. A URL for the building webpage in HCAI/OSHPD eServices Portal is also provided to view projects related to any building.

This dataset contains a list of hospitals participating in the Hospital Value Based Purchasing Program and their performance rates and scores for the Clinical Process of Care Pneumonia measures. This dataset is no more updated now a days and has been retired from hospital compare datasets.

The data for this assignment come from the Hospital Compare web site (http://hospitalcompare.hhs.gov)run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The purpose of the web site is to provide data and information about the quality of care at over 4,000 Medicare-certied hospitals in the U.S. This dataset essentially covers all major U.S. hospitals. This dataset is used for a variety of purposes, including determining whether hospitals should be ned for not providing high quality care to patients (see http://goo.gl/jAXFX for some background on this particular topic).

This dataset contains a list of hospitals participating in the Hospital Value Based Purchasing Program and their performance rates and scores for the outcome measures.

On an annual basis (individual hospital fiscal year), individual hospitals and hospital systems report detailed facility-level data on services capacity, inpatient/outpatient utilization, patients, revenues and expenses by type and payer, balance sheet and income statement.

Due to the large size of the complete dataset, a selected set of data representing a wide range of commonly used data items, has been created that can be easily managed and downloaded. The selected data file includes general hospital information, utilization data by payer, revenue data by payer, expense data by natural expense category, financial ratios, and labor information.

There are two groups of data contained in this dataset: 1) Selected Data - Calendar Year: To make it easier to compare hospitals by year, hospital reports with report periods ending within a given calendar year are grouped together. The Pivot Tables for a specific calendar year are also found here. 2) Selected Data - Fiscal Year: Hospital reports with report periods ending within a given fiscal year (July-June) are grouped together.

The dataset provides performance ratings for two outcome measures for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures: in-hospital/30-day mortality and in-hospital/30-day stroke. It includes the number of cases, adverse events, risk-adjusted rates, and performance ratings for hospitals compared to the overall statewide rates. This dataset also contains the location of hospitals that perform TAVR procedures in California.

Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Model - provider data. This data set includes provider data for two quality measures tracked during an episode of care: complication rate for hip/knee replacement patients and the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey

The dataset contains risk-adjusted mortality rates, quality ratings, and number of deaths and cases for 6 medical conditions treated (Acute Stroke, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Heart Failure, Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage, Hip Fracture and Pneumonia) and 5 procedures performed (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Unruptured/Open, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Unruptured/Endovascular, Carotid Endarterectomy, Pancreatic Resection, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) in California hospitals. The 2022 IMIs were generated using AHRQ Version 2023, while previous years' IMIs were generated with older versions of AHRQ software (2021 IMIs by Version 2022, 2020 IMIs by Version 2021, 2019 IMIs by Version 2020, 2016-2018 IMIs by Version 2019, 2014 and 2015 IMIs by Version 5.0, and 2012 and 2013 IMIs by Version 4.5). The differences in the statistical method employed and inclusion and exclusion criteria using different versions can lead to different results. Users should not compare trends of mortality rates over time. However, many hospitals showed consistent performance over years; “better” performing hospitals may perform better and “worse” performing hospitals may perform worse consistently across years. This dataset does not include conditions treated or procedures performed in outpatient settings. Please refer to statewide table for California overall rates: https://data.chhs.ca.gov/dataset/california-hospital-inpatient-mortality-rates-and-quality-ratings/resource/af88090e-b6f5-4f65-a7ea-d613e6569d96

VA Community Care Comparison or VAC3 is a system for comparing Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospital system performance with regional and U.S. national benchmarks. This report includes key quality measures available on CMS Hospital Compare and top hospital recognition programs from reporting agencies of hospital quality. VAC3 data tables are updated every quarter.

Complications and deaths - state data. This data set includes state-level data for the hip/knee complication measure, the CMS Patient Safety Indicators, and 30-day death rates.

The data displayed here describes average spending levels during hospitals’ Medicare Spending per Beneficiary (MSPB) episodes by Medicare claim type. The data presented on Hospital Compare provide price-standardized, non-risk-adjusted values for hospital spending by claim type because risk adjustment is done at the episode level rather than at the service category/claim level. An MSPB episode includes all Medicare Part A and Part B claims paid during the period from 3 days prior to an inpatient hospital admission through 30 days after discharge.

Why Not the Best VA or WNTBVA is a system for comparing Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospital system performance with regional and U.S. national benchmarks. This report includes key quality measures available on CMS Hospital Compare and top hospital recognition programs from reporting agencies of hospital quality. This currently only has Q1 and Q4 data.

AHA Annual Survey Database™ for Fiscal Year 2022 is a comprehensive hospital database for peer comparisons, market analysis, and health services research. It is produced primarily from the AHA Annual Survey of Hospitals, which has been administered by the American Hospital Association (AHA) since 1946. The survey responses are supplemented by data drawn the U.S. Census Bureau, hospital accrediting bodies, and other organizations.

This dataset contains the location of hospitals that performed Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) surgery in California from 2011 to 2022. It also provides performance ratings for the following risk-adjusted outcome measures related to the CABG surgery: operative mortality for isolated CABG and CABG plus valve, post-operative stroke, and 30-day all cause readmission. The dataset also includes the number of cases and adverse events for each CABG outcome measure. The methodology, including risk models that generated the rates and performance ratings differed among years. Users should exercise caution when comparing trends of rates over time (see metadata for more information).

This dataset provides values for HOSPITAL BEDS reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

The Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) measures - state data. These measures are developed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and collected through the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). They provide information on infections that occur while the patient is in the hospital. These infections can be related to devices, such as central lines and urinary catheters, or spread from patient to patient after contact with an infected person or surface. Many healthcare associated infections can be prevented when the hospitals use CDC-recommended infection control steps.
