Definition
The percentage of long-stay residents who have a urinary tract infection
Numerator
Long-stay residents with a selected target assessment that indicates a UTI within the last 30 days
Denominator
All residents who have a stay
at your facility 101 days or more with a selected target assessment are included in
the denominator unless they have an exclusion.
Exclusions
Residents whose target assessment is an admission assessment, a 5 day PPS Medicare Part A, or a PPS Medicare Part A readmission/return assessment. Residents coded as any of these 3 types of assessment will not be included in the urinary tract infection numerator or denominator.
the long-stay resident's MDS is coded as not being
assessed for a urinary tract infection in the last 30 days during the target assessment.
In this case there is a "dash" in the box where a UTI diagnosis is coded.
