Pediatric Quality Indicators

The following measures belong to the group that falls into AHRQ's Pediatric Quality Indicator category. The Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) are a set of measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to provide a perspective on the quality of pediatric healthcare. Specifically, PDIs screen for problems that pediatric patients experience as a result of exposure to the healthcare system and that may be amenable to prevention by changes at the system or provider level.
SQL to acquire these measures is as follows:
.

Acquiring data on All PDI 

select a.measure_id, a.author_measure_id, a.name_friendly
from measures as a, measure_groups_measures as b
where a.measure_id = b.measure_id 
and b.measure_group_id = 24
.
Acquiring data on Provider Level PDI 
select a.measure_id, a.author_measure_id, a.name_friendly
from measures as a, measure_groups_measures as b
where a.measure_id = b.measure_id 
and b.measure_group_id = 32
.
This includes observed, risk-adjusted, and observed to expected measures.
