PHC4 Hospital Performance Report • FFY 2005 Data • Western PA�

Key Findings

• Patient mortality decreased significantly in 10 of the

26 treatment categories between 2003 and 2005

(in categories where three years of mortality data

were available). The largest decline was in Stroke -

Hemorrhagic, where the mortality decreased from 33.5%

in 2003 to 30.1% in 2005. No procedure or treatment

group showed a significant increase in mortality.

• The overall mortality rate for conditions reported for

both 2003 and 2005 decreased significantly, from 4.6%

in 2003 to 4.5% in 2005.

• There was wide variation in length of stay among

hospitals. The condition with the most variation was

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, where hospitals’

average length of stay ranged from 3.5 to 17.2 days,

after taking patient risk factors into account.

• The overall readmission rate for conditions reported for

both 2003 and 2005 increased significantly, rising from

18.6% in 2003 to 19.2% in 2005.

• Readmission rates increased significantly in 5 of the 19

treatment categories between 2003 and 2005 (in categories

where three years of readmission data were available).

The largest increase was in Stroke - Hemorrhagic, where

the readmission rate increased from 16.0% in 2003

to 18.7% in 2005. No procedure or treatment group

showed a significant decrease in readmission rate.

• There were 58,937 readmissions for any reason in

2005 (for the categories covered in the report). These

readmissions amounted to approximately $2.2 billion

in charges and 365,000 hospital days.

• There were 14,202 readmissions for complication or

infection in 2005 (for the categories covered in the

report). These readmissions amounted to approximately

$631 million in charges and 106,000 hospital days.

If readmissions for complication or infection were

decreased by just 15%, then nearly $95 million in

charges would have been saved.

• The most common reason for a readmission for

complication or infection was pneumonia.

• The condition with the highest readmission rate for

complication or infection was Respiratory Failure

without Mechanical Ventilation (12.7%). The condition

with the lowest rate was Hysterectomy - Vaginal (1.8%).

• There were 5,186 discharges with reported hospital-

acquired infections in conditions in this report. This

number represents 27.6% of all hospital-acquired

infections reported (18,811) by hospitals for this time

period. However, the actual number of these events is

likely higher since the collection of hospital-acquired

infections was being phased in over this time period and

hospitals were improving their collections and reporting

systems. Most of the infections identified were of the

urinary tract, blood stream, surgical site or pneumonia.

Overall, these infections led to higher length of stay,

mortality, and charges.

infections were Respiratory Failure with Mechanical

Ventilation (4.3%) and Colorectal Procedures (4.1%).

The conditions with the lowest rates of hospital-acquired

infections were Prostatectomy - Radical (0.2%) and

Hysterectomy - Vaginal (0.2%).

Foreword

The Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment

Council (PHC4) was established as an independent state

agency by the General Assembly and the Governor of

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1986. To help

improve the quality and restrain the cost of health care,

PHC4 promotes health care competition through the

collection, analysis and public dissemination of uniform

cost and quality-related information. Thanks to the vision

of its General Assembly, Pennsylvania has begun to build a

new health care marketplace where purchasers, consumers,

providers, payors, and policy makers can make more

informed decisions about the delivery of health care. This

Hospital Performance Report is one of a series of public

reports designed to achieve this goal. Information about

additional treatment and surgical categories is posted on

the PHC4 Web site at www.phc4.org.

What is the purpose of the report?

Before we make a major purchase, we normally

familiarize ourselves with as much information as we

can gather about the available products or services. By

comparing what we can learn about the quality of the

product as well as what will be charged for it, we decide

on what we believe is the best quality product for the

best possible price. It should be the same with health

care services. Unfortunately, the information available

to consumers and purchasers to make such decisions is

limited and often not widely accessible. PHC4’s Hospital

Performance Report can help to fill that vacuum of

information and assist consumers and purchasers in

making more informed health care decisions. This report

can also serve as an aid to providers in highlighting

additional opportunities for quality improvement and

cost containment. It should not be used in emergency

situations.

What is new in this report?

Clinical Conditions – This report includes

30 conditions based on ICD-9-CM (International

Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical

Modification) codes, which specify the clinical reason(s)

for a patient’s hospitalization. Of the 30 code-based

conditions, there are 19 diagnoses and 11 procedures.

Descriptions of these conditions are on pages 6 and 7.

About this report

• This report covers inpatient hospital discharges during

Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2005, which includes data

from October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005.

• This report is divided into three regional versions and is

hospital-specific.

• All Pennsylvania general and most specialty general

acute care hospitals, regardless of size, are included.

• The hospital names have been shortened in many cases

for formatting purposes. Hospital names may be dif-

ferent today than during the time period covered in

this report due to mergers and name changes. A list of

changes can be found on the PHC4 Web site at www.

phc4.org.

Where does the data come from?

Pennsylvania hospitals are required by law to submit

certain information to PHC4. The data compiled for the

purpose of this publication is reported as it was submitted

to PHC4 by Pennsylvania hospitals. The data was subject

to standard verification processes by PHC4. In addition,

hospitals are required to submit data indicating, in simple

terms, “how sick the patient was” or, in technical jargon, a

“severity score.” The data is then risk-adjusted.

Understanding this Report


Accounting for high-risk patients

Even though two patients may be admitted to the

hospital with the same illness, there may be differences

in the seriousness of their conditions. In order to report

fair comparisons among hospitals, PHC4 uses a complex

mathematical formula to “risk-adjust” the mortality,

length of stay and readmission data, meaning that

hospitals receive “extra credit” for treating patients that

are more seriously ill or at a greater risk than others. Risk-

adjusting the data is important because sicker patients

may be more likely to die, stay in the hospital longer, or be

readmitted.

A sophisticated patient risk classification system called

Atlas Outcomes™ is used to collect clinical information

about hospital patients and to predict each patient’s

chance of mortality and expected length of stay. Atlas

Outcomes™ is a clinical information system developed

by MediQual Systems, Inc.®, a business of Cardinal

Health. This system is based on electronically available

admit/discharge/transfer and laboratory data, as well as

selected clinical data abstracted from the patient record,

including EKG readings, vital signs, medical history,

imaging, pathology and operative results. PHC4 also

independently adjusts for other risk factors, such as

poverty rate or the presence of cancer in the patient

population included in this report.

A comprehensive description of the risk-adjustment

techniques used for this report can be found in the

Technical Notes on PHC4’s Web site at www.phc4.org.

What is measured in the report and why is it important?

PHC4’s mission is to provide the public with

information that will help to improve the quality of

health care services while also providing opportunities to

restrain costs. The measurement of quality in health care

is not an exact science. There may be a number of ways to

define quality; however, for the purposes of this report, six

measures are suggested. With the exception of volume of

cases, each of these measures has been adjusted for patient

risk. (For more information, see the previous section

entitled, Accounting for high-risk patients.)

• Volume of Cases – For each hospital, the number of

cases for each condition, after exclusions, is reported.

This can give a patient or a purchaser an idea of the

experience each facility has in treating such patients.

Studies have suggested that, in at least some areas, the

volume of cases treated by a physician or hospital can be

a factor in the success of the treatment.

The number of cases represents separate hospital admis-

sions, not individual patients. A patient readmitted sev-

eral times would be included each time in the number

of cases. Outcome data are not reported for hospitals

that had fewer than five cases evaluated for a measure;

such low volume cannot be considered meaningful and,

as such, the outcome data are not displayed. Not Re-

ported (NR) appears in the table when this occurs.

Note: Small or specialty hospitals may report low volume

due to the unique patient population they serve or geo-

graphic location.

• Risk-Adjusted Mortality – PHC4 has used risk-adjusted

mortality statistics as a measure of quality since it began

publishing reports in 1989. To determine the mortal-

ity rating, PHC4 compares the number of patients one

could reasonably expect to die in a given hospital in a

given condition with the actual number of deaths.

• Risk-Adjusted Length of Stay – The length of time a

patient stays in the hospital can reflect how successful the

Understanding the Symbols

hospital is in providing treatment and has an impact on

the resources used in delivering treatment.

• Risk-Adjusted Length of Stay Outliers – Length of

stay “outliers” are abnormally short or long hospitaliza-

tions – those individual hospitalizations where the differ-

ence between the actual and expected length of stay was

in the top (long length of stay outliers) or bottom (short

length of stay outliers) 5% of all statewide hospitalizations.

They are the hospitalizations where the difference between

the actual and expected length of stay was above or below

the normal range for all hospitalizations in the state. For

any one hospital, the outlier rate is the number of outliers

divided by the total number of hospitalizations. Length

of stay may be an important quality of care indicator;

however, many factors affect length of stay, some of

which are beyond the hospital’s control. Abnormally

short or long hospital stays may result from factors,

such as payor expectations, complications, clinical treat-

ment advancements, or avoidable admissions due to

inadequate health and social support in the community.

Reported ratings should be interpreted cautiously and

do not necessarily indicate high or low quality care.

• Risk-Adjusted Readmissions – A readmission is

defined as a subsequent acute care hospitalization, for

any reason in any Pennsylvania hospital, where the

admit date is within 30 days of the discharge date of the

original hospitalization. To determine the risk-adjusted

readmission rating, PHC4 compares the number of

patients one could reasonably expect to be readmitted

in a given hospital in a given condition with the actual

number of readmissions. The methodology was

designed to limit planned readmissions; however, some

may still be included. While some re-hospitalizations

can be expected, high quality care may lessen the need

for subsequent hospitalizations.

• Risk-Adjusted Readmissions for Complication/Infec-tion – The risk-adjusted readmission rating (discussed

above) takes into consideration all subsequent hospi-

talizations within 30 days of the discharge date of the

original hospitalization. However, this measure includes

only readmissions with a principal diagnosis of a com-

plication/infection (see the Technical Notes on the PHC4

Web site, www.phc4.org, for a detailed description).

Other data issues

• Do Not Resuscitate Cases – The mortality analysis in-

cludes Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) cases. Since DNR is

defined and utilized differently across Pennsylvania hos-

pitals, such records are retained in the analysis to avoid

potential biases in mortality ratings.

• Not all data is reported for all measures. For example, re-

admission rates are not reported for Heart Attack – Medi-

cal Management because subsequent admissions are often

planned.

Hospital charges

This report also includes the average hospital charge

for each of the 30 code-based conditions. While charges

are what the hospital reports on the billing form, they may

not accurately represent the amount a hospital receives

in payment for the services it delivers. Hospitals usually

receive less in actual payments than the listed charge.

However, charges are the only data compiled that reflect

the relative cost of all services provided by hospitals.

Consequently, hospital charges are used almost universally

by those attempting to assess the costs of health care.

A look at the financial data submitted by hospitals to

PHC4 can shed some light on the relationship between the

amount hospitals charge or bill for inpatient services, and

the amount they receive in Net Patient Revenue (NPR).

Pennsylvania hospitals received, on average statewide, $.28

in NPR for every dollar that they charged in Fiscal Year

2005 (ending 7/1/04 through 6/30/05).

Within the geographic area covered in this report,

hospitals received, on average, $.33 in NPR for every

dollar charged. Broken down even further, hospitals within

Southwestern Pennsylvania received, on average, $.32 in

NPR for every dollar charged, Northwestern Pennsylvania

hospitals received an average of $.34 on the dollar, and


hospitals in the Southern Allegheny regions (Somerset,

Johnstown, Altoona areas) received an average of $.41 on

the dollar.

These regional figures are aggregate only and cannot

be applied to individual hospitals or individual average

charges for conditions to calculate actual payment figures.

This is due to substantial variation in hospital charges

from hospital to hospital and from insurance product

line to product line. There is also substantial variation in

actual payments that hospitals receive for specific services.

Actual payments to hospitals are imposed by Medicare

and Medicaid, or result from negotiations with insurance

companies, other third-party payors, and even individual

patients.

How to use the report

• Patients/Consumers can use this report as an aid in

making decisions about where to seek treatment for the

conditions detailed in this report. As with any health

care decision, PHC4 urges the reader to use this report

in conjunction with a physician or other health care

provider when making a health care decision.

• Group Benefits Purchasers/Insurers can use this re-

port as part of a process in determining where employ-

ees, subscribers, members, or participants should go for

their health care.

• Health Care Providers can use this report as an aid in

identifying opportunities for quality improvement and

cost containment.

• Policy Makers/Public Officials can use this report to

enhance their understanding of health care issues, to ask

provocative questions, to raise public awareness of im-

portant issues and to help constituents identify quality

health care options.

• All of the previously mentioned groups can use this

information to raise important questions about why

differences exist in the quality and efficiency of care.

This report can be used as a tool. It should not be

used to generalize about the overall quality of care at a

hospital, but instead to examine hospital performance in

specific treatment categories. The measurement of quality

is highly complex, and the information used to capture

such measures is limited. A hospital death is frequently an

unavoidable consequence of a patient’s medical condition.

Hospitals and physicians may do everything right, and

the patient can still die. However, the statistical methods

used eliminate many of the clinical and medical differences

among the patients in different hospitals, thereby allowing

us to explore the real differences in the measures presented

in this report. The pursuit of these issues can play an

important and constructive role in raising the quality while

restraining the cost of health care in the Commonwealth

of Pennsylvania.

Non-compliant hospitals

Hospitals are required under Pennsylvania law (Act

14) to submit timely, accurate health care data to PHC4.

PHC4, acting upon the advice of its Technical Advisory

Group, a panel of physicians and other health care experts,

has determined that hospitals missing the required UB-

92 data or patient severity scores in excess of or equal to

10% overall are non-compliant with state law and are

excluded from this report. These hospitals are listed below.

Although hospitalization data specific to non-compliant

hospitals is not shown in this report, these records have

been included in the overall analysis for the measures

included in this report, and thus are reflected in the

statewide and regional totals.

Code-Based Diagnosis Descriptions

Abnormal Heartbeat: Abnormal heart rate or rhythm including tachycardia, bradycardia, fibrillation, flutter and heart block. Does not include heart attack, congenital heart defects, or heart valve disorders.

Blood Clot in Extremities: Inflammation of a blood vessel with the formation of a thrombus (blood clot) in a deep or superficial vein involving the legs, arms, and other parts of the body. Includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Blood Clot in Lung: The formation of a thrombus (blood clot) and/or infarction (damage or death) of the lung tissue. Often called pulmonary embolism or pulmonary infarct.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Chronic lung disease where breathing is difficult due to airway narrowing, excess mucus production or inflammation. It is caused most frequently by bronchitis, asthma, or emphysema.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Heart failure occurs when the heart loses its ability to pump enough blood through the body. Heart failure usually worsens over time as the heart gradually loses its pumping ability and works less efficiently, resulting in high blood pressure and fluid collection in the lungs.

Diabetes with Amputation: Includes patients who have diabetes and undergo an amputation of the arm, leg, or toe.

Diabetes – Medical Management: Includes patients hospitalized for control of blood sugar. Conditions include coma, high blood sugar crisis, and fluid imbalances. Kidney, eye, nerve, or blood vessel damage related to diabetes are included.

Heart Attack – Medical Management: A heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs when there is blockage or obstruction in the blood vessels that supply oxygen to the heart muscle causing an infarction (damage or death) to an area of the heart. Included are heart attack patients who were treated without a balloon (angioplasty) procedure or open heart surgery.

Intestinal Obstruction: Partial or complete blockage of the intestine often caused by scar tissue, tumors, twisting and kinking, or decreased blood supply that prevents the contents in the intestine from passing beyond the blockage.

Kidney Failure: Short and long-term kidney (renal) failure due to high blood pressure, heart disease, or damage to

kidney tissue. Does not include dialysis or transplants.

Kidney and Urinary Tract Infections: Acute and chronic infections of the kidney and urinary tract. Does not include urinary stone or urinary symptoms, such as frequency, bleeding, or pain.

Pneumonia – Aspiration: Inflammation of the lungs and bronchial tubes caused by inhaling foreign material, such as food, drink, vomit, or secretions from the mouth into the lungs. Does not include infectious pneumonia.

Pneumonia – Infectious: Simple pneumonia (inflammation of the lung) includes viral and bacterial pneumonia, as well as pleurisy, an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the lungs.

Respiratory Failure with Mechanical Ventilation: Failure of the lungs to support the exchange of essential gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), making the use of mechanical ventilation necessary. A mechanical ventilator (“breathing machine”) delivers oxygen through a tube placed in the mouth or nose into the trachea (windpipe). The breathing machine can be set to help or completely control breathing.

Respiratory Failure without Mechanical Ventilation: Inability of the lungs to support the exchange of essential gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) without the need for mechanical ventilation.

Stomach and Intestinal Bleeding: Bleeding from ulcers or areas of inflammation in the stomach, small or large intestine, rectum, or esophagus (muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach).

Septicemia: Also known as blood poisoning, is a system-wide infection of the patient’s blood. Does not include post-operative or post-injury infections.

Stroke – Hemorrhagic: Stroke is a cardiovascular disease that affects the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. In hemorrhagic strokes, a blood vessel in the brain breaks or ruptures and causes bleeding (hemorrhage) within or around the brain.

Stroke – Non-hemorrhagic: In ischemic (non-hemorrhagic) strokes, a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain or an artery leading to the brain. This is the most common type of stroke. Transient ischemic attack (temporary stroke symptoms) is not included.


Code-Based Procedure Descriptions

Information about additional treatment and surgical categories is posted on the Web site at www.phc4.org

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a bulge in the aorta (the aorta is the main blood vessel coming from the heart that supplies blood to all organs) in the abdomen. Does not include endovascular (minimally invasive graft technique) repairs or ruptured aneurysm repairs.

Colorectal Procedures: The majority of colorectal procedures are performed in relation to the presence of cancer or diverticulitis (inflammation of part of the lower digestive tract). Does not include patients with abdominal trauma.

Gallbladder Removal – Laparoscopic: Cholecystectomy is the operation for removal of the gallbladder. Included are patients who underwent this type of surgery carried out with a laparoscope (microscopic camera) through 3 or 4 small incisions.

Gallbladder Removal – Open: Traditional gallbladder removal surgery that is carried out through an incision in the right side of the upper abdomen.

Heart Attack – Angioplasty/Stent: Treatment (called percutaneous translumial coronary angioplasty or PTCA) of a heart attack using special balloons to open up obstructed arteries and increase blood flow to the heart. Often, a stent (a mesh tube) is inserted in the blocked or narrowed artery to open it wider and prevent renarrowing or recurring blockage. Does not include coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

Hip Fracture – Surgical Repair: Fracture (“broken bone”) of the hip involves the top portion of the femur (thigh bone). Surgical repair includes inserting a pin, rod or screw into the bone to hold the fracture together for healing or may also include a partial or total hip joint replacement.

Hysterectomy – Abdominal: An operation, performed through an abdominal incision, to remove the uterus (womb) and sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes. This type of surgery is performed when vaginal or laparoscopic approaches are deemed inappropriate for a variety of conditions, including female cancers, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic trauma, and uterine or vaginal prolapse.

Hysterectomy – Vaginal: Includes hysterectomy through a vaginal approach and those laparoscopically (use of microscopic camera) assisted. Includes hysterectomy performed for a variety of conditions such as female cancers, pelvic trauma, uterine fibroids, and endometriosis.

Prostatectomy – Radical: Radical prostatectomy is the surgical removal of the entire prostate. This type of surgery is usually performed when localized cancer is present.

Prostatectomy – Transurethral: This type of surgery involves the surgical removal of part of the prostate gland and is usually done to relieve urinary symptoms caused by benign (non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate.

Removal of Blockage of Neck Vessels: This procedure, also known as a carotid endarterectomy, is performed to prevent strokes. It involves removal of blockages, complete or partial, in the two arteries (carotid arteries) that supply the brain with blood and oxygen.


The mortality, length of stay and readmission figures account for varying illness levels among patients. See page 3.
