Hospital performance rates tell you the proportion of cases where a hospital provided the recommended process of care. Only patients meeting the inclusion criteria for a measure are included in the calculation of the rate for a measure. A rate of 88% means that the hospital provided the recommended process of care 88% of the time. For example, the rates for aspirin at discharge for individuals who have had an acute myocardial infarction -- a heart attack -- tell you the percentage of patients who received an aspirin when they are discharged from the hospital. The ultimate goal is the right care for the right patient at the right time. Hospitals with effective quality improvement programs are continually working toward this goal.
