The dataset shows Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) measures for the 36 major PPCs combined; providing observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates and counts for all payer discharges by hospital and statewide, beginning in 2013.

Potentially Preventable Complications (PPC), obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are defined as harmful events or negative outcomes that develop or occur during hospitalization and may result from processes of care and treatment rather than from natural progression of the underlying illness.

The PPCs were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data.

The dataset groups 65 individual Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) measures into 8 different categories, providing observed and risk-adjusted rates for all payer discharges by hospital and statewide, beginning in 2013.

This line chart shows the observed vs. expected Potentially Preventable Complication (PPC) rates for all payer beneficiaries by hospital.

The chart is based on a dataset that contains Potentially Preventable Complications (PPC) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for all payer beneficiaries by hospital beginning in 2009. The Potentially Preventable Complications (PPC), obtained from
software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are
harmful events or negative outcomes that develop after hospital
admission and may result from processes of care and treatment
rather than from natural progression of the underlying illness
and are therefore potentially preventable.
The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and
Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient data.
The observed, expected and risk adjusted rates for PPC are
presented by hospital (including a statewide total).
