OASIS-derived outcome reports first became available to home care agencies in February 2002 and depicted the agency's current (observed) outcome achievement rate as compared to a reference (predicted) rate on 41 separate outcomes. New three-bar reports are now available that allow agencies to evaluate their current outcome rates against their previous year's rates and a reference rate. This article compares the newly-available three-bar reports with the prior two-bar reports, including information provided in those reports in the OBQI process.

Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate how diabetes mellitus affects longer term outcomes in individuals presenting to hospital with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
Methods: We analysed data from 456,376 adults hospitalised between January 2005 and March 2019 with NSTEMI from the UK Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project (MINAP) registry, linked with Office for National Statistics death reporting. We compared outcomes and quality of care by diabetes status.

This article discusses the effect that the quality improvement organizations (QIOs) have achieved in the home healthcare industry under their contracts with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Specific successes are related to partnerships between QIOs and home health agencies (HHAs) and the future of outcome-based quality improvement (OBQI) in improving acute care hospitalization (ACH). Data are from the OBQI evaluation system and show outcomes for the baseline collection period (May 2001-April 2002) through the remeasurement period (April 2003-July 2004).
