Patient Safety

There are many factors the Military Health System tracks related to Patient Safety. Additional measures will be added here as they are made available.

• Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI)

  A catheter is a drainage tube that is inserted into a patient’s urinary bladder through the urethra. It is left in place to collect urine while a patient is immobile or incontinent. Catheters can become a way for germs to enter the body and cause infections in the urinary tract. These infections are called catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs). They can cause additional illness. Catheters are used when medically necessary as determined by your provider. They are removed as soon as they are no longer needed.

  What we measure

  We track the number of infections developed by patients in the hospital due to CAUTIs. We look at the number of infections compared to the number of expected infections based on the number of patients who had catheters during the time frame being measured.

   

  You and your family should ask about our processes for preventing infections. You’re encouraged to be proactive with your care team and ask for catheters to be removed at the earliest possible time that it can be safely removed. For more information please visit the Center for Disease Control website at

  https://www.cdc.gov/uti/about/cauti-basics.html?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/hai/ca_uti/cauti_faqs.html

   

   

  CAUTI data is updated four times a year in March, June, September, and December.

• Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSI)

  A central line is a narrow tube inserted by a doctor into a large vein of a patient’s neck or chest. This is so the patient can receive fluids or medication, or so that blood can be collected for medical tests. Central lines can become a way for germs to enter the body and cause infections in the blood. These infections are called central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). Central lines are used when medically necessary as determined by your provider. They are removed as soon as they are no longer needed.

  What we measure

  We track the number of infections developed by patients in the hospital because of central-line devices. We look at the number of infections compared to the number of expected infections based on the number of patients who had central lines during the time frame being measured. For more information please visit the Center for Disease Control website at https://www.cdc.gov/clabsi/about/?CDC_AAref_Val=https://www.cdc.gov/hai/bsi/clabsi-resources.html.

  You and your family should ask about our processes for preventing infections. You are encouraged to be proactive with your care team and ask for the central lines to be removed at the earliest possible time that it can be safely removed.

  CLABSI data is updated four times a year in January, March, June, and September.

• Joint Patient Safety Reporting

  You expect us to keep you safe when you’re in one of our hospitals or clinics. One way we do that is by reporting and reviewing Patient Safety Events. That way, we can identify and fix potentially unsafe conditions in our hospitals and clinics. Patient Safety Events are any avoidable event that could result in harm to a patient. This includes what we call "near miss" or “close call” events. These are events that never reaches the patient, but could have resulted in harm under different circumstances. All facilities in the MHS Click to closeDirect CareDirect care refers to military hospitals and clinics, also known as “military treatment facilities” and “MTFs.”Direct Care system voluntarily report their patient safety events to the MHS Patient Safety Program. Unlike most other health systems, we also report events in our dental program. This is because the MHS integrates dental into its medical system. More reporting doesn’t necessarily mean that a facility is less safe. It actually provides MHS with data to learn from and make improvements. Joint Patient Safety Reporting (JPSR) data are updated in April for the previous calendar year.

• Sentinel Events

  We encourage our medical staffs to report all types of patient safety events – injuries, illnesses, and especially deaths. Sentinel Events are those that result in harm or death to a patient. They require immediate reporting, response, and investigation. This measure is a facility specific one that shows you what sentinel events occurred in individual hospitals or clinics. Your military hospital or clinic may not be on this list. Some don’t provide services that can result in a Sentinel Event. Others may not have enough data to report in a way that protects patient privacy. Data are updated in April of each year and cover the previous calendar year.

Patient Satisfaction / Access

There are many factors the Military Health System tracks related to Patient Satisfaction and Access. For your convenience we have categorized these in the below sections:

• Access to Acute Care Appointments

  Seeing your provider in a timely manner is important to you—and to us. Our goal is for you get the right level of care, at the right time, by the right provider.

  What we measure

  We measure the average number of days it takes to be seen for an acute medical condition. If the military hospital or clinic can't get you an appointment with your primary care manager within the access standards, they will get you an appointment with another provider. We monitor this metric on a monthly basis and make more appointments available when the measure shows we need to.

• Access to Routine Care Appointments

  Seeing your provider in a timely manner is important to you—and to us. Our goal is for you get the right level of care, at the right time, by the right provider.

  What we measure

  We measure the average number of days it takes to be seen for routine appointment. If the military hospital or clinic can't get you an appointment with your primary care manager within the access standards (within 7 days), they will get you an appointment with another provider. We monitor this metric on a monthly basis and make more appointments available when the measure shows we need to.

• Overall Hospital Rating

  "Using any number from 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst hospital possible and 10 is the best hospital possible, what number would you use to rate this hospital during your stay?"

  (11-point scale: 0-Worst Hospital Possible to 10-Best Hospital Possible. Percent satisfied is 9 or 10.)

  The overall rating summarizes up to 57 quality measures reflecting common conditions that hospitals treat, such as heart attacks or pneumonia. Hospitals may perform more complex services or procedures not reflected in the measures on Hospital Compare. The overall rating shows how well each hospital performed, on average, compared to other hospitals in the U.S.

  • The overall rating ranges from one to five stars. 
  • The more stars, the better a hospital performed on the available quality measures. 
  • The most common overall rating is 3 stars.

• Primary Care Manager Continuity

  When your provider team is familiar with your medical history, it's good for you, especially if you have more complex medical issues. Our Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) help you see the same provider team. Your PCMH team aims to keep you healthy by suggesting preventive services that may prevent more complex problems later. We track this measure to find out how often you are seen by your assigned primary care manager (PCM).

  What we measure

  We measure the percent of appointments where the patient saw their own provider. We use our electronic health record to monitor which provider you see. We understand that there may be times when you want to be seen quickly – and don’t need to see your PCM, but we want to make sure you're seen by your primary medical team when you want. Ask for your provider by name. If we can’t get you an appointment with your provider, we'll try to get you seen by a provider on the same team. They know your medical needs and history. And, if you aren’t concerned about continuity of provider in some circumstances, let us know that, too.

• Provider Communication

  It is important that providers communicate clearly and effectively with patients, their families, and caregivers. We want to ensure everyone understands and can use the information we provide to make healthy choices and good decisions about their healthcare. When provider-patient communication is effective, adherence to treatment recommendations increases, better health outcomes are achieved, and the patients and their families’ satisfaction with health care improves.

  What we measure

  Patients reported how well their provider explained things clearly, listened, showed respect, and whether they spent enough time with them. Please complete and return any surveys you receive to us. We want to know what you think and to learn what we are doing well and how we can improve.

  This measure is reported quarterly. If the data appears to be a little delayed, please remember, it takes time to make sure the information is statistically valid in order to make improvements in our system that will benefit our patients.

• Satisfaction With Getting Needed Care

  Seeing your provider when you need to is important to you – and to us. We want to ensure that you get the care you need when you need it. This measure lets us know if you think we responded appropriately to your appointment request.

  What we measure

  We send out surveys to a sample of our patients after their health care appointments. We measure your satisfaction and study trends by each hospital or clinic, by networks, by regions, by Service, and for the entire system. This helps us see where and how we can do better. Please complete and return any surveys you receive to us. We want to know what you think and how we can improve. Take advantage of all of the opportunities to get care you need: the 24/7 Nurse Advice Line, secure email with your provider, or same-day appointments. We aim to ensure you get the care you need when you need it.

• Babies Delivered Electively

  A normal pregnancy is 40 weeks. Research has shown that babies who are 'full term' (39-41 weeks of pregnancy) are less likely to have complications and require Neonatal Intensive Care support.

  What we measure

  This is a measure that is tracked for the Military Health System and across the nation. We count the number of babies delivered by 'choice' (elective), who are younger (less) than 39 weeks, whose mother is not in labor and has no medical complications. Talk to your doctor about the best time to deliver your baby.

  This is one of the measures from the Core Quality Measures Collaborative.  Additional information can be found at: https://p4qm.org/CQMC.

• Low Back Pain Imaging

  Evidence shows that many patients diagnosed with low back pain receive excessive medical tests that can lead to unnecessary worry and unneeded surgery. For the majority of individuals who experience severe low back pain, pain improves after two weeks. Avoiding imaging tests like x-ray, MRI, and CT scans can prevent harm to patients and reduce health care costs. Data shown for this Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS measure is the most recently approved by NCQA.

  What we measure

  We measure the percentage of adults age 18 to 50 years with a primary diagnosis of low back pain who didn’t have an imaging test (e.g., plain X-ray, MRI or CT scan) within 28 days of the diagnosis. A higher score means a better performance. Talk with your provider about alternatives to unnecessary medical tests for low back pain, and discuss alternatives to surgery for addressing your pain.

• National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) All Cases Morbidity (All complications 30 days after surgery)

  Surgical illness or injury measures look at a number of different complications that can result from surgery, like infections, operations on the wrong area, or a return to the operating room to correct a complication.

  What we measure

  We measure these complications to get an all case morbidity rate. This rate shows the likelihood a surgery will have some sort of complication. Talk to your medical team about the steps we’re taking to prevent complications after your surgery. If you see something that doesn’t seem right, ask about it.

• National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) All Cases Mortality (All deaths 30 days after surgery)

  NSQIP All Cases Mortality is the rate of unexpected deaths after surgery. It is the rate of deaths that happen within 30 days after a surgery. These deaths sometimes happen because of problems related to the operation. They can also happen for unrelated reasons. Some deaths happen because patients are very sick.

  What We Measure

  The MHS measures the rate of death in the first 30 days after a surgery. Then we compare these rates to those at hundreds of hospitals around the country. The rates are reported as one of three categories. The first, “exemplary,” means the facility had fewer deaths than would be expected in similar patients going through a similar surgery. The second, “as expected,” means that the site had about the same number of deaths as expected. The third, “needs improvement,” means the facility had more deaths than would be expected.

  These measures are a reliable look at surgical quality. They are National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, or NSQIP, measures. These are made by the American College of Surgeons. They are based on the best available data. It includes data about how patients are doing 30 days after surgery.

  Talk to your medical team about the steps the MHS is taking to prevent unexpected deaths after surgery. If you see something that doesn't seem right, ask about it.

• Strep Test

  Pharyngitis, or inflammation of the throat, is the only condition among upper respiratory infections where your provider may determine that antibiotic use is appropriate. U.S. medical leaders recommend that individuals diagnosed with group A streptococcus (strep) pharyngitis be treated with antibiotics. A strep test is the definitive test of group A strep pharyngitis. Data shown for this Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS measure is the most recently approved by NCQA.

  What we measure

  We measure the percentage of enrollees ages 3 months of age and older, who were diagnosed with pharyngitis, received a strep test and were given an antibiotic. If you think you may have strep, ask for the test. If the test comes back positive and your child has strep, they should get an antibiotic. But, if the test is negative, an antibiotic isn’t needed.

• Treatment of Common Cold

  The common cold or upper respiratory infection (URI) is a common reason individuals visit their provider. Most of these infections are viral and an antibiotic won’t help. There’s a national effort to reduce overuse of antibiotics. Overuse is contributing to an increase in organisms that are resistant to popular antibiotics. Data shown for this Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS measure is the most recently approved by NCQA.

  What we measure

  We measure the number of visits of enrollees with an upper respiratory infection for 3 months of age and older who were diagnosed with upper URI who weren't given an antibiotic prescription. A higher number is better. Talk to your provider about when antibiotics are appropriate to help prevent a global threat from antibiotic resistant organisms.

  What we measure

  We measure the number of well-child visits in the first 15 months of life, for both military and civilian appointments. Our goal is a child will have 6 well-child visits during these 15 months.

  This measure sees if military children have timely, easy access to health care services. If you recently moved or changed providers, talk with your new doctor about what appointments your child has already had.
