Analysis of the Statistical Significance of Hospital Measure Rates

Because the measure rates for the hospitals are for a specific period of time, and because there is variability in performance over time because of chance and other factors, there is a degree of

uncertainty about the extent to which a hospital’s measure rate may reflect its true underlying

performance. Without taking this uncertainty into account, we cannot conclude that a hospital with a measure rate that is higher or lower than the group rate is truly performing at a worse or better rate than the group.

Statisticians use confidence intervals to account for this uncertainty. A confidence interval is a

numeric range around the estimate represented by the hospital’s measure rate, calculated to provide a

specified level of confidence that the interval includes the true underlying performance of the hospital. The confidence level chosen for this analysis, 95% confidence, means that, in repeated collection and analysis of similar data, 95% of the resulting confidence intervals will include the true rate. The use and interpretation of confidence intervals in the nursing-sensitive measures is illustrated below. For any hospital (A, B, C, or D), the measure rate represented by the square is

accompanied by a confidence interval (horizontal line). When a hospital’s confidence interval does

not intersect the group interval, represented by the vertical lines (hospitals A and D in the illustration), we can say that the difference between the hospital rate and the group rate is statistically

significant and likely represents a true difference in performance. When the hospital’s interval

completely crosses the group interval (hospitals B and C in the illustration), the difference is not

statistically significant. (When a hospital’s interval extends only a small distance into the group

interval, the difference may be statistically significant. Additional calculation is required.) The confidence level of 95% applies to the confidence interval for each individual hospital. In a group of 20 hospitals, one would expect, on average, that one confidence interval does not actually

include the hospital’s true rate. Hospitals’ confidence intervals will vary in width because, among

other factors, the measure rate is based on more or fewer observations (i.e., patient days). Abt Associates Inc. advised MHA on the analytic approach and performed the statistical analysis.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    15 Introduction The Neonatal (newborn) Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the Floating Hospital for Children is a 40-bed unit designed to provide highly specialized and technically advanced care to ill, premature, or high-risk babies. Skilled nurses, physicians, nurse practitioners and respiratory therapists staff the unit. This team of health care providers function together to provide the finest and most comprehensive care possible for your newborn. Some of the babies admitted to the NICU are born here at Tufts Medical Center, and some are born in community hospitals and then transported to us by members of our Neonatal Transport Team. Babies are admitted to the NICU for many reasons. Whatever the reason for admission, a wide range of pediatric subspecialty services is readily available for your newborn if necessary. Some of our specialty services include newborn medicine, pediatric cardiology, pediatric surgery, pediatric neurology, pediatric otolaryngology, pediatric urology and many others, all available 24-hours/day. Soon after admission, your baby will be assigned a primary nurse and will be assigned to a team of physicians on the newborn medicine service. Tufts Medical Center is the principal teaching hospital for Tufts University School of Medicine; there are many doctors at various levels of specialty training who will be involved with your baby’s care. At all times, the attending physician is ultimately responsible for the medical care your baby receives. If you have already chosen a pediatrician, please give his or her name to your baby’s nurse. Once identified, the pediatrician will receive routine updates, about once a week, while your baby is in the NICU.
