Quality Indicator Repository
Quality indicators are standardised, evidence-based measures used to monitor and evaluate the quality and safety of care. The ACAC developed a Quality Indicator Repository. For information on its development see this document.
Please navigate the Quality Indicator Repository to learn about the quality indicators we identified across care settings and their defining, data, and source attributes. You can also use the Quality Indicator Repository to download quality indicators of interest to you.

A hospital-level 30-day, all-cause, risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR) for patients age 65 and older discharged from the hospital with a principal diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
A hospital-level 30-day, all-cause, risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR) for patients age 65 and over discharged from the hospital with either a principal discharge diagnosis of COPD or a principal discharge diagnosis of respiratory failure with a secondary diagnosis of acute exacerbation of COPD.
A hospital-level risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR), defined as unplanned readmission for any cause within 30-days from the date of discharge for a qualifying index CABG procedure, in patients 65 years and older.
A hospital-level risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR) following elective primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) and/or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) beneficiaries who are 65 years and older.
