Death among Surgical Inpatients with Treatable Serious Complications
This indicator is intended to identify patients who die following the development of a complication. The underlying assumption is that good hospitals identify these complications quickly and treat them aggressively.

Failure to Rescue may be fundamentally different than other indicators reviewed in this report, as it may reflect different aspects of quality of care (effectiveness in rescuing a patient from a complication versus preventing a complication). This indicator includes pediatric patients. It is important to note that children beyond the neonatal period inherently recover better from physiological stress and thus may have a higher rescue rate.

 

State total cases at risk: 14,286
State risk-adjusted occurrence rate: 12.221%

There are 177 hospitals in this table.
