| Condition |
Description |
| Heart Attack (AMI) Care |
Heart Attack (AMI) Care A heart attack (also called an AMI or acute myocardial infarction) happens when the arteries leading to the heart become blocked and the blood supply is slowed or stopped. These quality measures show some of the standards of care provided, if appropriate, to someone who has a heart attack. |
| Heart Failure Care |
Heart failure is a weakening of the heart’s pumping power. With heart failure your body doesn’t get enough oxygen and nutrients to meet its needs. These quality measures show some of the standards of care provided, if appropriate, to someone who has heart failure. |
| Pneumonia Care |
Pneumonia is caused by a viral or bacterial infection or inflammation that fills your lungs with fluid. This lowers the oxygen level in your blood. These quality measures show some of the standards of care provided, if appropriate, to someone who has pneumonia. |
| SCIP |
Hospitals can reduce the risk of wound infection after surgery by
making sure patients get the right medicines at the right time on the
day of their surgery. |
