Thanks, Jeanne.
I was winging it here at home, and couldn't
remember for sure. Shoulda just said I didn't know.

Just a heads up - there is no risk adjustment for the dehydration QI. The
items that will cause it to trigger are J1c or 276.5 coded in I3.

Hi,
Try to think of it just the opposite from the
old standardized tests in school. Then, you wanted your
percentile score to be high. The percentile score gives the
percentage of people (or facilities) that scored lower than you.
So, for dehydration, if your percentile score is 86, and your
numerator is 2, then 86% of the facilities in your comparison group had one
or none with dehydration in that time frame. I am fairly certain that
end stage disease removes the person from both the numerator and the
denominator.

Just looking at our QI's,
& I'm trying to understand why the dehydration percentile rank was so
high (86), when the # in the numerator was only 2. Any help I could
get to understand this would be greatly appreciated. Also, if "end
stage disease, 6 or fewer months to live" is checked, are these residents
excluded from the numerator? Thank-You!
