Review: How to interpret PPR results PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, ** PPRs is the actual number of PPRs detected during the time period

How to interpret PPR results “At Risk Cases” is the denominator – it’s all behavioral health cases, minus the exclusions PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

How to interpret PPR results Actual Rate is PPRs divided by At Risk Cases PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

How to interpret PPR results Expected Rate – this is a unique number for every hospital based on their patient population. Generally, hospitals with more severely ill patients will have higher expected rates. PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

How to interpret PPR results One star is statistically “worse than expected” (or higher); Two stars is “no different than expected”; Three stars is “better than expected” (or lower) PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

How to interpret PPR results Expected PPRs is the Expected Rate times the At Risk Cases PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

How to interpret PPR results Difference from Target is your actual PPRs (first column) minus the Target PPRs. The goal for this hospital is to reduce by 18 PPRs per year. PPRs At Risk Cases Actual Rate Expected Rate Expected PPRs Target PPRs Difference from TargetA/E Ratio 1723, **

Actual to Expected Ratio Actual Rate Expected RateA/E Ratio An A/E Ratio above 1.0 is more than expected; below is less than expected. The goal for the RARE campaign is to get the A/E ratio down to 0.80

Effects of upgrading to v31  Norms now based on statewide performance Therefore, “Expected rate” changed o Previously, it was based A/E ratio effectively set to 1.0 o Target is 0.8 (20% reduction from the performance)  Statewide A/E under v was 0.88 To trend previous data, multiply current A/E by 0.88 o Note: did not calculate v27 behavioral-only A/E from
