The measures of timely and effective care at Mary Hurley Hospital show how rapidly patients received recommended treatments known to get the best results for certain medical conditions. The timely and effective care measures (also known as “process of care” measures) indicate the percentage of patients who received timely treatments for common conditions, serious medical conditions or surgical procedures. These quality measures only apply to patients for whom the recommended treatment would be appropriate.

The data and graphs below compare applicable quality measures with state and national averages. Notice that small differences between different hospitals wont necessary indicate a material difference in the real world.

Emergency Department Care

The emergency department quality measures comprise sample data of all hospitalized inpatients, regardless of diagnosis or clinical condition. The waiting times at different hospitals varies depending on the number of factors including: number of patients seen, staffing levels, hospital efficiency, admitting procedures and the availability of beds for admitted patients.

Measure	Hospital Average	How this Hospital Compares
ER Waiting Time	25 minutes Measure: ER Waiting Time This emergency department measure is based on a sample size of 217. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015	Average wait time patients spent in the emergency room before being seen by a doctor. A lower waiting time is better.
Discharge Time	1 hour 36 minutes Measure: Discharge Time This emergency department measure is based on a sample size of 188. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015	Average time discharged patients spent in the emergency room before being sent home. A lower discharge time is better.
Time Before Admission	1 hour 59 minutes Measure: Time Before Admission This emergency department measure is based on a sample size of 63. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015	Average time spent in the emergency room before patients were admitted to the hospital. A lower time before admission is better.
Transfer Time	21 minutes Measure: Transfer Time This emergency department measure is based on a sample size of 61.

Heart Failure Care

The adequate treatment for heart failure patients depends on the area of heart affected. The "evaluation of the left ventricular systolic function" is a test that helps health providers determine whether the left side of the heart is pumping properly.

Measure	Hospital Average	How this Hospital Compares
Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function	72% Measure: Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function This heart failure measure is based on a sample size of 69. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015	Heart failure patients given an evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic (LVS) function. This evaluation can tell your doctor whether the left side of your heart is pumping properly. A higher percentage of LVS evaluation is better.

Pneumonia Care

Pneumonia is a lung infection that might be by caused by a bacteria or a virus. If the cause of pneumonia is bacterial, hospitals will treat the infection with the appropriate antibiotics.

Measure	Hospital Average	How this Hospital Compares
Pneumonia Patients given Antibiotic(s)	52% Measure: Pneumonia Patients given Antibiotic(s) This pneumonia measure is based on a sample size of 40. Sample data was collected between 04/01/2014 and 03/31/2015	Percentage of patients with pneumonia who received an initial antibiotic regimen during the first 24 hours consistent with current guidelines. A higher percentage is better.
