A state average was not calculated because too few hospitals in the state submitted data.
There were discrepancies in the data collection process.

These measures are included in the composite measure calculations but Medicare is not reporting them at this time.
No data are available for publication from the hospital for this measure because there were zero central line days.
No data are available for publication from the hospital for this measure because this hospital does not have ICU locations.

This is the middle range of payments for the most typical cases treated in this geographic area for this condition or procedure.
Number of Medicare Patients Treated: The number of discharges the hospital treated for each MS-DRG for the current data collection period. The United States and state average of Medicare Patients does not include hospitals with zero cases.
The payment and volume information is for acute care hospitals. Critical access hospitals (CAH) are not included because they are paid using another method.
Payment cannot be computed as there were no Medicare discharges for this Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Group (for the current data collection period).
An asterisk (*) appears in the table where data cannot be disclosed to protect personal health information due to the small number of Medicare patients (fewer than 11).
This hospital is currently not submitting data for Hospital Clinical Care Measures, Hospital Outcome of Care Measures and/or the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Patient Survey.
