Hospital Compare Outpatient Information

**Overview** This data package contains information about the Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting (ASCQR) Program by facility as well as national and state level health care data. It also provides information regarding the hospital, national and state data for the Outpatient Imaging Efficiency Core Measures. **Description** This data package contains the Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting (ASCQR) by Facility Program seeks to make care safer and more efficient through quality reporting. ASCs eligible for this program may have their Medicare payments reduced if they do not report data for these measures. Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting by National describes the National level health care results for ASCQR Program measures. It is a pay-for-reporting, quality data program for standardized measures. ACSs are health care facilities that perform surgeries and procedures outside the hospital setting. The ASCQR Program was started by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to promote higher quality, more efficient health care for Medicare beneficiaries through data reporting, quality improvement, and measure alignment with other clinical care settings. Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting by State contains the State level health care results for ASCQR Program measures. ASCs that participate in the program and meet program requirements are rewarded based on the quality of care that they provide to patients. Outpatient Imaging Efficiency Core Measures by Hospital contains the Core Measures which give information about hospitals' use of medical imaging tests for outpatients. Outpatient Imaging Efficiency Core Measures by National and State data contains information about hospitals' use of medical imaging tests for outpatients. CMS has adopted six core measures which capture the quality of outpatient care in the area of imaging. The measures on the use of medical imaging show how often a hospital provides specific imaging tests for Medicare beneficiaries under circumstances where they may not be medically appropriate. The purpose of reporting these measures is to reduce unnecessary exposure to contrast materials and radiation, to ensure adherence to evidence-based medicine and practice guidelines, and to prevent wasteful use of Medicare resources. **Benefits** - Useful for medical care and ambulatory surgical services diagnoses services, patients, outpatient services and hospitals. hospital compare outpatient information database is available on centers for medicare & medicaid services, hospital compare data and medicare.gov website in raw form, whereas a john snow labs (jsl) customer gets it in a clean and normalized form ready to use in one place and create his own custom reports. easy to comprehend for the customers who are unfamiliar with the medical terminologies as all abbreviated terms are replaced with full form, unlike hospital compare outpatient information original datasets which are full of abbreviations. **License Information** The use of John Snow Labs datasets is free for personal and research purposes.
