    2.15.2017 Standardized Healthcare-Associated Infection Ratio When reporting the columns “Percentage of Total Discharges From Hospitals With Unavailable SIR,” “Number of Contracted Hospitals With Reportable SIR” and “Total Inpatient Discharges” in Table HAI-1/2/3, if a hospital is not listed in Table HSIR, is it included in the count?

    Hospitals for which plans have discharges from but are not identifiable in Table HSIR should not be included in the hospitals reported in the category "Number of Contracted Hospitals With Reportable SIR." However, discharges from these hospitals should be included in “Total Inpatient Discharges” and in “Percentage of Total Discharges From Hospitals With Unavailable SIR.” Use Table HSIR posted on the NCQA Web site to make the determination; organizations do not need to refer to the Hospital Compare web site.
