*The PA and US rates are case-weighted averages. The rates are calculated by dividing the total number of patients who had the recommended care by the total number of patients who met the criteria for that measure across all hospitals.
**The hospital quality measures reported on this website come from a variety of sources using several data collection processes and update schedules. While the PHCQA website contains the most recent publicly available information, the time periods represented by these data range from 6 to 24 months old. Caution should be used when drawing conclusions from these data as a hospital's performance may have changed significantly since the data was collected and reported. The PHCQA recommends you contact the hospital directly to obtain the most recent performance data.
+US rates and Top 10% Benchmarks for Overall and Pneumonia Care are calculated using PN-5c in place of PN-5b for all data from April 2007 forward. National benchmark data provided by the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality.
