The Measurement of Mortality
This paper describes the development of risk-adjusted mortality indices (RAMI) using 1985 MEDPAR data from 657 hospitals. The RAMI methodology is adopted from the Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities, however, both inhospital and post-discharge deaths are counted within time windows that vary by clinical condition. Five different RAMI measures (expected deaths/observed deaths) are developed, compared, and aggregated into various hos…
Measuring Hospital Performance
In this study we used information from discharge abstracts to develop three different risk-adjusted measures of hospital performance: a Risk-Adjusted Mortality Index, a Risk-Adjusted Readmissions Index, and a Risk-Adjusted Complications Index. The adjustments have face validity, and appear to account for much of the variation across hospitals in the rates of these adverse events. The indexes are stable over time, and are not biased with respect t…
The Risk-Adjusted Mortality Index
The Commission on Professional and Hospital Activities (CPHA) developed the Risk-Adjusted Mortality Index (RAMI), a method for comparing hospital death rates using existing abstract or billing data. The method is comprehensive insofar as it includes all payers and all types of cases except neonates. RAMI was designed to differentiate among admissions on the basis of the patient characteristics that increase or reduce the risk of dying in the hosp…
