Percentile rank indicates the percent of all other facilities which rank
below your facility for that Indicator. You would need to know the exact scores
of all other facilities, then rank then in order to get the percentile
score.
So, 92% scored lower then you, and only 8% scored higher than you. That
puts you in the top 10% overall and that trips the flag.

round off = 28.6% Try to remember divide the smaller

O.K. all you experts out there. I've gone totally brain dead
this
afternoon
and I need help. My Don wants to know how the
percentile rank is figured
on
a QI. Here' s the scoop:
Cognitive patterns: # in numerator =2; # in
denominator =7; facility
percent is 28.6, comparison group percent is
9.7
%. percentile
rank is 92%( it was flagged, of course). Now, I need to
know
how they
arrived at the 92% number. I can get all the other numbers, but
can't
figure that one out.
Now, another problem. I have a resident who had
a cva yesterday, 4/4/04.
She is comatose and I am starting a change of
condition MDS on her. I
have
skipped the areas it said to skip if the
resident was comatose and now I
am
at section G, physical functioning.
This area has a 7 day look back, but
she has been comatose only 48 hours,
so I can't mark her as an 8 because
it
hasn't been 7 days. Prior to
that she was fairly independent in adl's,
usually needing only
supervision. So, how do I code that? No one here
has
any idea of how
to proceed.
Thanks for all your help and support when ever I need
it.
June Bradford RN, MDS Coordinator
I still don't see where the 92% comes from either. I've often
wondered that myself. I understand the 28.6% but not the 92%.
