Quality of Care Report
Latest Release: June 2008
The Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association Quality of Care initiative is an award-winning collaboration that measures quality in part through mortality or rate of death, length of stay, and process of care. These data
elements are tracked and analyzed for a variety of procedures and conditions.
Since the beginning of the project,
the group wanted to assure data would be valid, reliable, actionable, risk-adjusted, representative of the patient
population (with an appropriate mix of medical and surgical cases), and community-based to include measures of
disease at the community level. The goal is to have data usable by a variety of audiences, including internal use
by the hospitals.
The current set of procedures and conditions tracked includes coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), acute myocardial
infarction (AMI) or heart attack, congestive heart failure, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
laminectomy, major joint replacement, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and stroke.
