Sentinel Events by Military Hospital

Report
4/26/2019

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 to a patient and that require immediate reporting, response and investigation. More reported events don’t necessarily mean more events have occurred. It could mean that more providers have reported events. We use this measure to see how many patient safety events are reported. This measure is a facility-specific one that shows you what sentinel events occurred in individual hospitals or clinics.

When you are having a baby, it is important that you have confidence in the hospital you are considering for delivery. Hospitals that have fewer deliveries are okay for uncomplicated pregnancies.

Primary Care Manager Continuity PDF Version

Report

When your provider team is familiar with your medical history, it is 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 will work 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 the same medical team. 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 primary care manager. But we want to ensure you are seen by your primary medical team when you want.

Catheter and Central Line Infections in Military Hospitals

Report
5/9/2017

A catheter is a drainage tube that is inserted by a doctor into a patient’s urinary bladder through the urethra and is left in place to collect urine while a patient is immobile or incontinent. When not put in correctly or kept clean, or if left in place for long periods of time, catheters can become an easy way for germs to enter the body and cause serious infections in the urinary tract. These infections are called catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs), and they can cause additional illness or be deadly. We track the number of infections developed by patients in the ICU because of catheter-associated urinary tract infections. 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.

This report shows the most common HEDIS scores and includes: well-child visits, breast cancer screening, cervical cancer screening, colorectal cancer screening, lower back pain, upper respiratory infection, phayrngitis pain, testing for diabetes, and follow-up after hospitalization for mental health.
