Table 1 provides a list of patient safety events prioritized by their national occurrence rate (rate per 1,000). While all patient safety events should be avoided, the Healthgrades 2014 report on patient safety has identified a set of three key avoidable patient safety events. These events have a combination of both a high rate per 1,000 and a relatively high number of events:
Respiratory failure following surgery
Bloodstream infection following surgery
Deep blood clots in the lungs or legs following surgery
Before undertaking quality improvement efforts, hospitals should undergo an in-depth analysis of their unique data and patient safety performance. Hospitals can then focus on the high-incidence events first to maximize the impact of any quality improvement initiative.

How Healthgrades Determines Patient Safety Excellence Award Recipients Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™ recognizes the 381 hospitals out of 4,729 evaluated that have the lowest occurrences of 13 of 14 serious, potentially preventable complications and adverse events during a patient’s hospital stay.
To evaluate hospital patient safety, Healthgrades uses Medicare inpatient data from the Medicare Provider Analysis and Review (MedPAR) database purchased from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). We evaluate all short-term acute care hospitals in the MedPAR file for three years (2010 through 2012. In addition, Healthgrades uses the QI Windows® Software (version 4.4) developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
For most patient safety indicators (PSIs), the AHRQ software uses advanced statistical algorithms that can predict the number of patient safety incidents that are likely to occur at a hospital based on the types of patients treated at that hospital. This is the expected rate.
We analyze 14 AHRQ-defined PSIs, each of which represents a serious, potentially preventable complication. Table 3 provides AHRQ’s translation for each of the 14 PSIs, as well as its description used in Healthgrades reports.*
Table 2. Patient Safety Indicators and Translation
Patient Safety Indicator Translated in Healthgrades Reports as…
Death Rate Among Surgical Inpatients With
Serious Treatable Complications
Death following a serious complication after surgery
Death Rate in Low-Mortality Diagnosis
Related Groups (DRGs)
Death in procedures where mortality is usually very
low
Pressure Ulcer Rate Pressure sores or bed sores acquired in the hospital
Iatrogenic Pneumothorax Rate
Collapsed lung due to a procedure or surgery in or
around the chest
Central Venous Catheter-Related
Bloodstream Infection Rate
Catheter-related bloodstream infections acquired at
the hospital
Postoperative Hip Fracture Rate Hip fracture following surgery
Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma
Rate
Excessive bruising or bleeding as a consequence of a
procedure or surgery
Postoperative Physiologic and Metabolic
Derangement Rate
Electrolyte and fluid imbalance following surgery
Postoperative Respiratory Failure Rate Respiratory failure following surgery
Postoperative Pulmonary Embolism or Deep
Vein Thrombosis Rate
Deep blood clots in the lungs or legs following
surgery
Postoperative Sepsis Rate Bloodstream infection following surgery
Postoperative Wound Dehiscence Rate Breakdown of abdominal incision site
Accidental Puncture or Laceration Rate Accidental cut, puncture, perforation or hemorrhage
during medical care
Foreign Object Left During Surgery or
Procedure
Foreign objects left in body during a surgery or
procedure (reported as number of events)
*Healthgrades ratings reflect 14 PSIs, 13 of which are presented as rates and are used to determine Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients. One PSI, Foreign Object Left During Surgery or Procedure, is not used in award determination because it is a count as opposed to a rate.

To be eligible for the Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award™, a hospital must meet clinical quality thresholds, have zero occurrences of PSI Foreign Object Left During Surgery or Procedure, and have data on at least seven out of eight core PSIs.
Clinical Quality Threshold – Eligible hospitals must be in the top 80% of hospitals for clinical quality as ranked by average z-score across the conditions and procedures that Healthgrades evaluates using Medicare data. Hospitals that have patient safety data but no Healthgrades ratings, such as cancer centers, are also eligible.
Zero Occurrences of PSI Foreign Object Left During Surgery or Procedure – Eligible hospitals must not have any occurrences of the PSI: Foreign Object Left During Surgery or Procedure. A hospital is ineligible for this award if even one patient has experienced this adverse event.
Data for Seven of Eight Core PSIs – Healthgrades identifies a core set of eight PSIs that are serious, but potentially preventable, complications related to medical or surgical inpatient hospital care. This core set of PSIs is included in the CMS Inpatient Quality Reporting program and represents events that are most amenable to prevention when hospitals make changes. Eligible hospitals may have data for all 13 PSIs, but they must have data for at least seven of the eight core PSIs (see Table 3).
To recognize hospitals that provide excellent patient safety, Healthgrades:
1. Creates a composite patient safety z-score.
2. Calculates a significance level associated with each composite patient safety z-score.
3. Identifies those hospitals with a “Better than Expected” overall patient safety significance level (using a 90% confidence interval) as Patient Safety Excellence Award recipients.
