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…
Constructing Episodes of Inpatient Care
BACKGROUND: Hospital administrative health data create separate records for each hospital stay of patients. Treating a hospital transfer as a readmission could lead to biased results in health service research. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study. We used the hospital discharge abstract database in 2013 from Alberta, Canada. Transfer cases were defined by transfer institution code and were used as the reference standard. Four time gaps betwe…
Glossary of terms relating to capture–recapture methods
This glossary provides basic definitions for terms that have a specific meaning in the application of the capture–recapture methodology, particularly with respect to standard techniques for the application of log linear models to multiple lists. In epidemiology, capture–recapture is used for prevalence estimation. It is intended that, as well as being a central point of reference for terms used in the capture–recapture methodology, this glossary …
Clinical decision making, risk and occupational therapy
Little is known about the processes involved in risk taking, and complex decision making of the type encountered on acute medical wards in general hospitals. The purpose of the present study was to examine certain of these processes in the context of decisions to discharge elderly inpatients from hospital. Vignettes of hypothetical frail and disabled elderly in-patients were presented to student and qualified occupational therapists (OTs). All th…
