1 Last Updated: Version 4.3a NQF-ENORSE VOLUNTARY CONSENSUS STANARS FOR HOSPITAL CARE Measure Information Form Collected For: CMS Voluntary Only The Joint Commission - Retired Measure Set: Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) Set Measure I#: SCIP- Performance Measure Name: Surgery Patients with Perioperative Temperature Management escription: Surgery patients for whom either active warming was used intraoperatively for the purpose of maintaining normothermia or who had at least one body temperature equal to or greater than 96.8 Fahrenheit/36 Celsius recorded within the 30 minutes immediately prior to or the 15 minutes immediately after Anesthesia End Time. Rationale: Core temperatures outside the normal range pose a risk in all patients undergoing surgery. According to the Clinical Guidelines for the Prevention of Unplanned Perioperative Hypothermia by the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN, 2009), published research has correlated impaired wound healing, adverse cardiac events, altered drug metabolism, and coagulopathies with unplanned perioperative hypothermia. A study by Kurtz, et al (1996), found that incidence of culture-positive surgical site infections among those with mild perioperative hypothermia was three times higher than the normothermic perioperative patients. In this study, mild perioperative hypothermia was associated with delayed wound closure and prolonged hospitalization. In a meta-analysis of outcomes and costs, Mahoney and Odom (1999), demonstrated that hypothermia is associated with a significant increase in adverse outcomes, including an increased incidence of infections. The authors also concluded that hypothermia is associated with an increased chance of blood products administration, myocardial infarction, and mechanical ventilation. These adverse outcomes resulted in prolonged hospital stays and increased healthcare expenditures. Type of Measure: Process Improvement Noted As: An increase in the rate. Numerator Statement: Surgery patients for whom either active warming was used intraoperatively for the purpose of maintaining normothermia or who had at least one body temperature equal to or greater than 96.8 Fahrenheit/36 Celsius recorded within the 30 minutes immediately prior to or the fifteen minutes immediately after Anesthesia End Time. SCIP--1
2 Included Populations: Not applicable Excluded Populations: None ata Elements: Temperature enominator Statement: All patients, regardless of age, undergoing surgical procedures under general or neuraxial anesthesia of greater than or equal to 60 minutes duration. Included Populations: An IC-9-CM Principal Procedure Code of selected surgeries (as defined in Appendix A, Table 5.10 for IC-9-CM codes). Excluded Populations: Patients who have a Length of Stay greater than 120 days Patients whose IC-9-CM principal procedure occurred prior to the date of admission Patients whose length of anesthesia was less than 60 minutes Patients who did not have general or neuraxial anesthesia Patients with physician/apn/pa documentation of Intentional Hypothermia for the procedure performed ata Elements: Admission ate Anesthesia Type Anesthesia End ate Anesthesia Start ate Anesthesia End Time Anesthesia Start Time ischarge ate IC-9-CM Principal Procedure Code Intentional Hypothermia Risk Adjustment: No ata Collection Approach: Retrospective data sources for required data elements include administrative data and medical record documents. Some hospitals may prefer to gather data concurrently by identifying patients in the population of interest. This approach provides opportunities for improvement at the point of care/service. However, complete documentation includes the principal or other IC-9-CM diagnosis and procedure codes, which require retrospective data entry. ata Accuracy: Variation may exist in the assignment of IC-9-CM codes; therefore, coding practices may require evaluation to ensure consistency. SCIP--2
3 Measure Analysis Suggestions: In analyzing any unexpected measure rates for SCIP-, hospitals may find it useful to examine the consistency with which temperatures are documented after surgery. Inconsistent documentation will reduce the hospital's score. Sampling: Yes, please refer to the measure set specific sampling requirements and for additional information see the Population and Sampling Specifications Section. ata Reported As: Aggregate rate generated from count data reported as a proportion.
