AHRQ QIs in Action
\r\nJohns Hopkins Medicine
\r\n\r\n The Johns Hopkins Hospital worked diligently to improve its performance for Postoperative\r\n Respiratory Failure (PSI 11). The effort started back in 2012 when only 30 percent were able\r\n to be removed from a ventilator within the desired timeframe. Today, nearly 60 percent of\r\n cardiac patients are taken off a ventilator in less than six hours following surgery.\r\n

\r\n \r\n The AHRQ Quality Indicators (AHRQ QIs) are measures of health care quality designed for\r\n use by program managers, researchers, and others at the Federal, State, and local levels\r\n interested in health care quality measurement. The AHRQ QIs provide health care\r\n decisionmakers with tools to assess their data, highlight potential quality concerns,\r\n identify areas that need further study and investigation, and track changes over time.\r\n The modules represent various aspects of quality: Prevention Quality Indicators in\r\n Inpatient Settings (PQIs), Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQIs), Patient Safety\r\n Indicators (PSIs), and Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs). The AHRQ QIs are used in\r\n free software distributed by AHRQ; the software programs can be applied to hospital\r\n inpatient administrative data, which is readily available and relatively inexpensive to\r\n use.\r\n
\r\n\r\n The AHRQ Quality Indicators were originally developed at the request of Healthcare Cost\r\n and Utilization Project (HCUP) partners in 1999 using evaluation methodologies developed\r\n in the AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPC). Over the years several refinements\r\n have been made to the original indicators by incorporating risk adjustment and reference\r\n population to improve the reliability and validity of the indicators. The PQIs were\r\n developed in 2000, the IQIs in 2002, the PSIs in 2003 and finally the PDIs in 2006 using\r\n ICD-9 CM codes. In 2012, several other enhancements were added such as present on\r\n admission (POA), laboratory values and key clinical values as well as conversion of AHRQ\r\n QIs to ICD-10 CM/PCS.\r\n

- \r\n The QI Toolkit serves as an \"inventory\" from which hospitals can select those tools\r\n that are most appropriate for their current quality improvement priorities and\r\n capabilities.\r\n \r\n
- \r\n Each of the tools is-by design-adaptable to the needs of an individual hospital.\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n
\r\n Quality Improvement Resources.
\r\n\r\n The tools are organized by the six quality improvement process steps, followed by a\r\n resources section:\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n 1\r\n
\r\nAssessing Readiness to Change
\r\n\r\n Fact sheets on the QIs, a board presentation template, a survey to self-assess\r\n readiness to change, and case studies of QI Toolkit users.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n 2\r\n
\r\nApplying QIs to Your Hospital's Data.
\r\n\r\n Software instructions to calculate the QI rates and tips for coding and\r\n documentation.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n 3\r\n
\r\nImplementing Evidence-Based Strategies to Improve Clinical Care.
\r\n\r\n 25 indicator-specific best practices, a project charter, a gap analysis, and an\r\n implementation plan.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n 4\r\n
\r\nIdentifying Priorities for Quality Improvement.
\r\n\r\n Prioritization worksheet, with example, and a presentation template aimed at\r\n engaging staff in the improvement process.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n 5\r\n
\r\nMonitoring Progress and Sustainability of Improvements.
\r\n\r\n Guide to support staff in tracking trends and monitoring progress for sustainable\r\n improvement.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n 6\r\n
\r\nAnalyzing Return on Investment.
\r\n\r\n Step-by-step method for calculating the return on investment for an intervention\r\n implemented to improve performance on an AHRQ QI, and a case study of return on\r\n investment calculated by a hospital.\r\n
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n The toolkit has undergone a field test, evaluation, and revisions in response to\r\n feedback from six hospitals. In 2016, AHRQ updated the toolkit to include:\r\n
\r\n- \r\n
- \r\n Updated content to partially address the transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10,\r\n including updated documentation and coding practices\r\n \r\n
- \r\n Guidance that can be used to improve pediatric quality in hospitals using the PDIs\r\n or other quality measures\r\n \r\n
- A new presentation template for engaging staff in improvement efforts \r\n
- Case studies of two hospitals that have successfully used the QI Toolkit \r\n

\r\n MapIT Automated In-house Stand-alone Mapping Tool
\r\n\r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n
\r\n \r\n The AHRQ MapIT toolkit takes a selected set of ICD-9 codes, applies the CMS General\r\n Equivalence Mapping in various ways, then outputs the set of related ICD-9 and\r\n ICD-10 codes. The tool applies the GEM in a two-stage process using both the forward\r\n and backward maps in conjunction with a novel reverse mapping.\r\n
\r\n\r\n Download and install the MapIT tool to facilitate conversion of set names to\r\n ICD-10-CM/PCS codes.\r\n

\r\n\r\n AHRQ QI presentations allow user to learn more about how AHRQ shares information\r\n and insights about the use of the AHRQ QIs to improve health care quality.\r\n
\r\nThe AHRQ QIs are standardized, evidence-based health care quality measures that can be used with readily available hospital inpatient administrative data. There are 101 Quality Indicators organized into four main modules and two standalone modules that measure quality associated with the delivery of care that occurs in either a hospital inpatient setting:
To use AHRQ QI, organizations may download and use the free software distributed by AHRQ in either SAS or Windows format. The software output or Quality Indicators (QI) results can be used to highlight potential quality concerns, identify areas that need further study and investigation, and track changes in quality over time.
\",\r\n },\r\n {\r\n tag: 'QIOverview-Where',\r\n topic: 'Where can I find a list of the AHRQ QIs?',\r\n desc: \"A list of the AHRQ Quality Indicators modules is provided below.
Inpatient Quality Indicators (IQI) module, reflects quality of hospital care for adults and includes:
- Inpatient mortality for medical conditions
- Inpatient mortality for surgical procedures
- Utilization of procedures for which there are questions of overuse, underuse, or misuse and
- Volume of procedures for which there is evidence that a higher volume of procedures may be associated with lower mortality
Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDI) module reflects quality of hospital care for children below the age of 18 and neonates and includes:
- Potential complications and errors resulting from a hospital admission for children and adolescents (e.g., neonatal mortality, postoperative sepsis)
- Potentially avoidable hospitalizations among children
Prevention Quality Indicators in Inpatient Settings (PQI) module reflects ambulatory care sensitive conditions that identify quality of care for "ambulatory care sensitive conditions." These are conditions for which good outpatient care can potentially prevent the need for hospitalization or for which early intervention can prevent complications or more severe disease. Examples include:
- Asthma
- High blood pressure
- Low birth weight
Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) module reflects quality of hospital care for adults with a focus on potentially avoidable complications and errors that occur during a hospital inpatient stay. Examples include:
- Pressure ulcers
- Foreign object left in after surgery
The QI measures are developed by a team of technical experts in collaboration with AHRQ. The AHRQ QIs are updated and new measures are added, as a result of new research evidence or validation efforts, user feedback, guidance from the National Quality Forum and general advances in the science of quality measurement. This is an ongoing process.
',\r\n },\r\n {\r\n tag: 'QIOverview-NQFEndorsed',\r\n topic: 'Which AHRQ QIs have been endorsed by the National Quality Forum?',\r\n desc: \"More than half of the AHRQ QIs have been endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). As of May 2017, 39 individual QIs and 3 composite QIs are endorsed by NQF. The complete list of AHRQ QIs that are NQF-endorsed is available at:
National Quality Forum (NQF) Endorsed Individual and Composite Measures
The AHRQ QIs are used by a wide range of organizations for a variety of purposes. For example:
\r\n- \r\n
- Researchers, quality improvement officers, hospital administrators and community health planners use AHRQ QIs to ask questions that provide initial feedback about clinical areas appropriate for further, more in-depth analysis and to assess hospital safety, quality, patient experience, cost and utilization.
\r\n - Hospitals and hospital systems nationwide use the AHRQ QIs to assist quality improvement efforts in acute care hospital settings.
\r\n - State hospital associations, state data associations, hospitals and hospital systems use the AHRQ QIs to help them understand how their hospital(s) compare on quality measures in relationship to other hospitals or to state and national averages.
\r\n - State hospital associations use the AHRQ QIs to assess hospital quality and primary care access.
\r\n - Insurers and business groups use the AHRQ QIs to compare hospital performance rates and assess relative safety, quality and affordability.
\r\n - State agencies use the AHRQ QIs in their public reporting on hospital quality to assess quality of care and increase transparency regarding health care performance.
\r\n - AHRQ has included the AHRQ QIs in the MONAHRQ® software (My Own Network powered by AHRQ), used by State agencies, hospitals and hospital associations, coalitions and others to assess and report on hospital quality.
\r\n - The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) uses AHRQ QIs in the Hospital Compare website to help consumers, hospitals, health care practitioners, health policy leaders and others inform decisions and actions to achieve safer, higher quality and more affordable health care.
\r\n - A number of federal health programs or reform efforts use AHRQ QI as an integral part of assessing, incentivizing and reporting on hospital quality improvement, including:
- \r\n
- National Quality Strategy (NQS) elements \r\n
- AHRQ's National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Reports \r\n
- CMS Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Initiative(IQIs and PSIs) \r\n
- Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) program(PQIs) \r\n
- Meaningful Use Incentive program
\r\n - The AHRQ QIs also are under consideration for inclusion in additional national programs such as the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). \r\n

`,\r\n },\r\n {\r\n tag: 'QIOverview-Benefits',\r\n topic: 'What are the benefits of using AHRQ QIs? Are there any limitations?',\r\n desc: `\r\n Benefits:
Using free, publicly-available QI software from AHRQ, in either SAS or\r\n Windows format, users can calculate Qulaity Indicators (QI) rates based on their hospital\r\n administrative data using a standard desktop computer. Each version of AHRQ QI is released with\r\n software in two different platforms: a SAS®† application and a Windows application.\r\n AHRQ WinQI runs on Windows operating systems and requires freely available software components:\r\n AHRQ-produced software, Microsoft .NET (for runtime environment and core software libraries), and\r\n Microsoft SQL Server Express (for data storage and manipulation).\r\n
\r\n Limitations:
In terms of limitations, the AHRQ QIs can be used with hospital\r\n administrative data. They are not available for other types of settings (e.g., long-term care,\r\n outpatient, ambulatory, hospice, individual practice, emergency department, or diagnostic centers)\r\n or measurement of populations or at the population level (e.g., mental health or substance abuse,\r\n emergency preparedness, patient falls, rehabilitation, readmission, surgery, heparin therapy, c.\r\n difficile, or nursing quality). However, AHRQ Quality Indicators are available for certain\r\n ambulatory care sensitive conditions indicators for adults (see PQI module) and children (see PDI\r\n module). To find Quality Indicators for other settings, check AHRQ's National Quality Measures Clearinghouse or the National Quality Forum's
\r\n The AHRQ QI software is intended to be used with data that cover entire patient populations (e.g.,\r\n all discharges from a hospital in a year) or data that were sampled from a patient population\r\n using simple random sample. The SAS QI software does not support weighted QI estimates or standard\r\n errors for weighted estimates. Thus, analyses using data obtained from a complex sampling design\r\n will not produce accurate estimates for the population from which the data were sampled. For a\r\n more thorough description of weighted AHRQ QI analyses, see the
\r\n
\r\n One of the basic foundations for producing evidence on how to improve quality is quality\r\n measurement. AHRQ QIs are widely used for research, health care planning, quality improvement and\r\n reporting initiatives throughout the United States (US). The current AHRQ QIs taking advantage of\r\n data enhancements, improvements in coding practices and advanced statistical methodologies where\r\n possible have evolved into metrics that can be used for quality improvement. AHRQ QIs now serve\r\n multiple purposes; including research, needs assessment for planning at the local, state, and\r\n national levels, hospital and community quality improvement initiatives, and information to be\r\n used by healthcare purchasers that link performance with payment.\r\n

The website also includes information about how to access technical assistance and sign up for email updates, in addition to a range of historical documentation about past releases and explanatory materials, such as presentations and recordings of informational webinars.
The AHRQ QI website does not provide:
- Data sources
- To obtain data you will likely have to go through your hospital or hospital association, State agency or, possibly, HCUP Reports on hospitals
- If you have a published report based on the AHRQ Quality Indicators and you would like to determine how that report was generated, you will need to contact the author of that report
- Reports on users of the software
- Care guidelines or advice on how to improve rates or use the software output
- Individual training
Each year new coding changes and other software updates are incorporated into the AHRQ Quality Indicators software and release the most updated version, usually by the end of spring. The rates for indicators are informally compared from year to year to identify unexpected percentage changes and update the indicators to conform to yearly changes in ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes and procedure codes, so a formal test using confidence intervals would be of limited use, given the time delay in having data with the current coding structure. The Quality Indicators are reviewed carefully for validity and are submitted to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for review and endorsement. The Quality Indicator measures tend to be very complex and depend on detailed diagnosis and procedure coding. When new codes are added or revised, the priority is on specificity and sensitivity. Additionally, updates are typically made to the software to improve usability and enhance the functionality.
There is extensive documentation on the specific Quality Indicators, the software and the methodology for creating the Quality Indicators. Some commonly asked questions are:
- How do I learn about changes?
- Consult the relevant Quality Indicators module page (PQI, IQI, PSI, PDI)
- From here you can see the Log of Coding Updates and Revisions, which documents all changes to the measures and software for that particular module.
- Consult the Quality Indicators software page
- Review the release notes for SAS and WinQI
- Review the results of comparison testing
- Consult the relevant Quality Indicators module page (PQI, IQI, PSI, PDI)

Also, AHRQ QI software tools are backward compatible in terms of supporting codes from prior years.
We do not recommend comparing QI rates derived from different software versions (for example across version v2020 and version v2021) as this could lead to a misleading interpretation. It is important to keep in mind that the exact specifications for the QIs are changed and updated with each annual software release, and that this can affect rates. For example, PSI 02 (Death Rate in Low-Mortality Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs)) includes cases in its denominator depending on whether their ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes fall into low-mortality DRGs. Based on clinical considerations and mortality trends in the reference population, each year some DRGs are added as low mortality while others are removed. From software version v2020 to v2021, four DRGs were added, while five DRGs were removed. As a result, the denominator population for PSI 02 may fluctuate from year to year, and all else held equal, this may influence the national-level observed rate (OR).
In addition to QI specifications, the states that comprise the reference population may also change from year to year. For example, the 2012 and 2013 reference populations are comprised of 44 states, the 2014 reference population is comprised of 45 states, and the 2016, 2017, and 2018 reference populations are comprised of 48 states.

The Procedure Code/MS-DRG Index is a reference source of all ICD-9-CM procedure codes that affect MS-DRG assignment, the MDCs and MS-DRGs to which they are assigned, and a description of the surgical categories. Some procedures that were previously classified as a non-OR procedure in the ICD-9-CM MS-DRG list are currently classified as an OR procedure in the draft ICD-10 MS-DRG v28. For example, codes such as percutaneous insertion of a catheter device in an “upper artery” for blood pressure monitoring (ICD-10-PCS code = 03HY32Z) and diagnostic paracentesis by percutaneous drainage of the peritoneal cavity with no device (ICD-10-PCS code = 0W9G3ZX) are currently considered an OR procedure in CMS’ draft ICD-10 list. As a result, patients who had these procedures are counted in the denominators for “perioperative” and “postoperative” events such as PSI 04 (Death Rate among Surgical Inpatients with Serious Treatable Conditions), PSI 08 (Postoperative Hip Fracture Rate), PSI 09 (Postoperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma Rate), PSI 10 (Postoperative Physiologic and Metabolic Derangement Rate), PSI 11 (Postoperative Respiratory Failure Rate), PSI 12 (Perioperative Pulmonary Embolism or Deep Vein Thrombosis Rate), PSI 13 (Postoperative Sepsis Rate), PDI 08 (Perioperative Hemorrhage or Hematoma Rate), PDI 09 (Postoperative Respiratory Failure Rate), and PDI 10 (Postoperative Sepsis Rate).

Each year new coding changes and other software updates are incorporated into the AHRQ Quality Indicators software and then released as the most updated version, usually by the end of spring. The rates for indicators are informally compared from year to year to identify unexpected percentage changes and the indicators are updated to conform to the yearly changes in ICD-10-CM diagnosis and procedure codes. AHRQ also updates its Technical Specifications and Software annually. So, the lag is attributed to the time it takes to incorporate these new coding updates and validating the rates across all indicators because of these coding changes.

The original release of the v5.0 software (March 2015) contained discrepancies in the coefficients used to calculate expected, risk-adjusted and smoothed PDI rates. In addition, it contained discrepancies in signal variance calculations used to calculate smoothed rates and smoothed standard error, which is used to calculate the smoothed confidence intervals, for all PQIs and area-level PDIs and IQIs. Finally, an interim release v5.0.2 contained incorrect reference population rates for the PQI module. The updated software (v5.0.3) contains corrected coefficients, signal variance calculations and reference population rates and produces the correct risk-adjusted, expected and smoothed PDI rates and standard errors (used to calculate confidence intervals). Observed PDI, IQI and PQI rates are correct in both the original v5.0 and updated v5.0.3 software; no changes in these rates are expected.

The updated parameters files for the issue correct an overstatement of the signal noise estimates. The initial release resulted in an underweighting of the reference population rate when the smoothed rate is calculated. Users with a limited number of discharges will see their smoothed rate move closer to the reference population rate. The larger the number of discharges, the less likely the user will see an impact. The updated PQI reference population rates will result in higher risk-adjusted PQI rates than were seen before the correction. For example, rates calculated for PQI 13 with the new version of the software will be approximately 10 times higher than what they were before the correction.

The AHRQ QI support line is available to answer your questions about the QI definitions and receive your feedback on those definitions; however, the QI support line does not provide consultation on appropriate use of the codes. If you have questions about individual cases or general coding guidelines please follow either of these approaches:
- If you have questions or disagreements about coding of individual cases, a special quarterly publication called Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM provides interpretation and coding guidance on the proper use of ICD-9-CM. This quarterly resource is published by the American Hospital Association. However, the four Cooperating Parties for ICD-9-CM [i.e., American Hospital Association (AHA), American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)] have final approval of the content of this official publication. The Editorial Advisory Board for Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM is a voluntary advisory board. Any interested stakeholder may submit a case for coding adjudication to the American Hospital Association's Central Office on ICD-9-CM, following the procedure described here:
Note: As of Jan, 2014, the AHA Central Office shifted its attention to ICD-10-CM/PCS and no longer accepts nor responds to requests for ICD-9-CM coding advice. You can submit a question about ICD-10-CM/PCS using the online form available at: http://www.codingclinicadvisor.com
If you have questions or disagreements about general coding guidelines, the CMS and the NCHS are the two departments within the U.S. Federal Government's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). They are in charge of the ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee. They provide the official guidelines for coding and reporting using the International Classification of Diseases. These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-9-CM (i.e., AHA, AHIMA, CMS and NCHS). NOTE: Beginning with the September 2011 ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee meeting only proposals for new codes/revisions for a new disease/new technology procedure will be accepted for ICD-9-CM. All other proposals must be submitted as changes to ICD-10-CM/PCS using the required submission process.

The AHRQ QIs will be updated for ICD-10-CM/PCS on a timeline that is consistent with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implementation. There is currently a report, entitled “ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS Conversion of AHRQ Quality Indicators (PDF File, 295 KB)” available on the AHRQ QI website, which details some of the considerations that are part of the conversion.
The ICD-9-CM Coordination and Maintenance Committee implemented a partial freeze of the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 (ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS) codes prior to the implementation of ICD-10. On April 1, 2014, the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (PAMA) (Pub. L. No. 113-93) was enacted, which said that the Secretary may not adopt ICD-10 prior to October 1, 2015. Accordingly, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a final rule on August 4, 2014 that changed the compliance date for ICD-10 from October 1, 2014 to October 1, 2015. The final rule also requires HIPAA covered entities to continue to use ICD-9-CM through September 30, 2015.
Meanwhile, AHRQ’s QI software redesign will occur over a number of software releases and will include beta testing. AHRQ has provided free ICD-10 Alpha version of the SAS software for organizations to test data that they have converted to ICD-10, to help assess any impacts that may have occurred due to that data conversion. The Alpha version of the ICD-10 software, released on Feb. 27, 2015, and accompanying information can be found here.

The AHRQ QI software is possible because many hospitals and health organizations collect data that have common data elements and common data values.
In the data source used with the AHRQ QI software, each record must conform to the specifications listed in the Data Elements and Coding Conventions in the Software Instructions for SAS and WinQI which are available on the AHRQ Quality Indicators website. With only a few exceptions, the same specifications apply to all four modules. They all require diagnosis codes and procedure codes in ICD-9-CM format, in which the codes are in character format with significant leading zeroes and trailing blanks. Other variables include sex, age, admission type, discharge status, and diagnostic related group (DRG). This last variable (DRG) generally requires a grouper program, available through Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) or a third-party vendor.
Once you get your data into the proper format, you will be able to calculate hospital-based (i.e., a specific hospital) observed rates because the numerator and the denominator for these are both drawn from your input data. However, area-based rates are available using Census data from the county in which the patients in your hospital reside. If this population is not meaningful for you, you may want to create your own alternate population file for more relevant denominators, as follows:
The software uses state and county FIPS codes to link the counties in which patients reside to a population file provided with the software. If your client or patient base is drawn from a wider area and Census data are not relevant, you can construct an alternate population file, assuming it contains a comparable data structure and uses the same coding conventions. The file must contain a record for each unique combination of state, county (FIPS codes), sex, age group (5 year bands), race, and population estimates for the years 1995 through 2014. While your alternate population file must contain these same data elements and coding conventions, you can use a unique identifier other than a FIPS state or county code to represent your alternate geographic entities, so long as the combination of these two codes can be matched to the PSTCO field in your input discharge data.
The Population File (POP95T14.TXT) must replicate the following format:

Yes, you can report one quarter of data for hospital rates. The only caution in doing this is that the relatively low frequency of events means that with the shorter time interval the rates may fluctuate from quarter to quarter -- more so than when reporting annual rates. This fluctuation, however, will be accounted for in the confidence interval -- in other words, the CI for a quarter of data is wider than the CI for a year of data. Bear in mind that, for area rates, given the use of Census data for the denominators, which assume one year of data, it is necessary to perform a proportional adjustment.
