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.
This indicator provides the risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission following discharge for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
The risk-adjusted rate of all-cause urgent readmission occurring within 30 days following discharge for an episode of care with an isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
This indicator gives the risk-adjusted rate of all-cause readmissions occurring within 30 days following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
This indicator calculates the risk-adjusted rate of all-cause in-hospital deaths occurring within 30 days for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.
This indicator calculates the risk-adjusted rate of all-cause in-hospital deaths occurring within 30 days for patients undergoing an isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.
This indicator calculates the risk-adjusted rate of all-cause in-hospital deaths occurring within 30 days for patients undergoing an isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
This indicator measures the risk-adjusted rate of readmission following discharge for mental health and substance use (MHSU) disorders.
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.
A hospital-level risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR) for patients discharged from the hospital with a principal diagnosis of heart failure (HF).
A hospital-level 30-day, all-cause, risk-standardised readmission rate (RSRR) for patients age 65 and older discharged from the hospital with either a principal discharge diagnosis of pneumonia (including aspiration pneumonia) or a principal discharge diagnosis of sepsis (not severe sepsis) with a secondary diagnosis of pneumonia (including aspiration pneumonia) coded as present on admission (POA).
The measure is a standardised readmission ratio of the observed number of readmission stays to the predicted number of readmission stays of a district. The numbers are derived based on the number of admissions and readmissions for patients presenting to New Zealand hospitals.
The risk-standardised readmission rate for Medicare Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries aged 65 or older who were hospitalised and experienced an unplanned readmission for any cause to a short-stay acute-care hospital within 30 days of discharge.
Percentage of emergency admissions to any hospital in England occurring within 30 days of the most recent discharge from hospital.
Indirectly age, sex, method of admission and diagnosis/procedure standardised percentage of emergency admissions to any hospital in England occurring within 30 days of the last, previous discharge from hospital after admission. This indicator measures the percentage of emergency admissions to any hospital in England occurring within 30 days of the most recent discharge from hospital.
This indicator gives the percentage of individuals who had 4 or more emergency room (ER) or urgent care centre (UCC) visits for help with mental health and substance use in a given year.
Readmission rates for surgical site infections within 30 days of discharge from surgery.
This indicator provides the risk-adjusted rate of patients who had 3 or more inpatient acute care hospitalisations with a cumulative length of stay (LOS) longer than 30 days (high users).
A facility-level risk-standardised rate of acute, unplanned hospital visits within 7 days of a procedure performed at a hospital outpatient department (HOPD) among Medicare Fee-For-Service (FFS) patients aged 65 years and older.
The rate of unplanned acute inpatient and observation stays within 30 and 60 days of discharge from a skilled nursing facility (SNF).

This indicator measures the risk-adjusted rate of urgent readmission for the medical patient group.
Percentage of patients aged 18 or older, treated and discharged in emergency care (specialised healthcare emergency care and joined emergency services for primary health care) who returned to emergency services within 48 hours
