  • Public Health

Background:

  • Hospital inpatient mortality is frequently used to assess healthcare quality.
  • Understanding the strengths and limitations of mortality data is crucial for accurate interpretation.
  • Development of robust mortality metrics requires careful consideration of data sources and methodologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate hospital inpatient mortality as a health care outcomes indicator.
  • To describe the development process for mortality-related data.
  • To provide guidance on using raw and severity-adjusted mortality data.

Main Methods:
