These are outcome measures that are reported in the CMS Quarterly update. They track mortality rates and readmission rates, which document when a patient is seen again for the same condition within 30 days of release from a hospital. It is important to note that the date range for these measures is 3 years long, and while they are included in the CMS Quarterly update, they are generally only changed annually. Because of this, we replace them in pellucid with newer versions of the same data with quarterly updates until it is time to introduce the new date range.
