Validating ICD-10 Algorithms for Identifying Patient Safety Indicators Through 10,655 Charts Review
BACKGROUND: Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs) derived from administrative data are widely used for monitoring and improving hospital care quality. However, the validity of ICD-10-based PSI algorithms remains uncertain, particularly in terms of their sensitivity and specificity. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of ICD-10-CA-based algorithms for identifying fifteen PSIs using chart review as the reference standard. RESEARCH DESIGN:…
Development of Data Quality Indicators for Improving Hospital International Classification of Diseases–Coded Health Data Quality Globally
BACKGROUND: Hospital inpatient data, coded using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), is widely used to monitor diseases, allocate resources and funding, and evaluate patient outcomes. As such, hospital data quality should be measured before use; however, currently, there is no standard and international approach to assess ICD-coded data quality. OBJECTIVE: To develop a standardized method for assessing hospital ICD-coded data qual…
Public Reporting on the Quality of Care in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction
Public reporting is a way to promote quality of healthcare. However, evidence supporting improved quality of care using public reporting in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is disputed. This study aims to describe the impact of public reporting of AMI care on hospital quality improvement in Korea. Patients with AMI admitted to the emergency room with ICD-10 codes of I21.0 to I21.9 as the primary or secondary diagnosis were identifi…
A data quality assessment to inform hypertension surveillance using primary care electronic medical record data from Alberta, Canada
Blood pressure and prescribed medications in primary care EMR data demonstrated good completeness and plausibility, and contribute valuable information for hypertension epidemiology and surveillance. The use of other clinical, laboratory, and sociodemographic variables should be used carefully due to variable completeness and suspected data errors. Additional strategies to improve these data at the point of entry and after data extraction (e.g. s…

Why many visible minority women in Canada do not participate in cervical cancer screening
Visible minority women in Canada may not be participating in regular Pap testing because of cultural beliefs and a lack of an understanding of the importance of Pap testing. A culturally appropriate cervical cancer screening intervention program that involves members of visible minority communities may increase participation of this subgroup of Canadian women. This study provides preliminary information on why visible minority women in Canada do …
A Modification of the Elixhauser Comorbidity Measures Into a Point System for Hospital Death Using Administrative Data
BACKGROUND: Comorbidity measures are necessary to describe patient populations and adjust for confounding. In direct comparisons, studies have found the Elixhauser comorbidity system to be statistically slightly superior to the Charlson comorbidity system at adjusting for comorbidity. However, the Elixhauser classification system requires 30 binary variables, making its use for reporting and analysis of comorbidity cumbersome. OBJECTIVE: Modify t…
Male and Female Adult Population Health Status in China
Males had better health status than females in terms of self-perceived wellbeing, presence of illness, chronic disease, and quality of life. However, smoking and frequent alcohol drinking was more prevalent among males than that among females. In contrast with the social-economic gradient in health commonly found in the literature, the wealthier urban population in China was not found to be healthier than the rural population in terms of physicia…
