How many quality measures are hospitals required to report if they are above the specified ADC threshold in ORYX reporting?

In the context of ORYX reporting, hospitals that exceed the specified Average Daily Census (ADC) threshold are required to report on nine quality measures. This requirement is part of accreditation standards set by The Joint Commission, which focuses on ensuring that hospitals provide high-quality care by monitoring a comprehensive range of performance metrics. The selection of nine measures is designed to capture critical aspects of hospital performance, including patient outcomes, satisfaction, and efficiency.

These measures are integral for hospitals aiming to achieve accreditation and meet quality improvement goals. By adhering to these reporting requirements, hospitals can demonstrate their commitment to quality care and engage in benchmarking activities to compare their performance with other facilities. The emphasis on nine measures reflects a balanced approach to evaluating quality across various dimensions of care and operational performance.
