Why are the numerators and denominators in my Facility Quality Indicator Profile Report all zeros (0)?
The Quality Indicator Reports provides the facility status for each of the MDS-based QI’s as compared to a peer group of the facilities in the State. The numerator is the number of residents in the facility who have the QI condition. The denominator is the number of residents in the facility who could have the condition. Prevalence indicator QI’s are based on the status of a resident at a point in time (the most current assessment). Incidence indicator QI’s are based on the change in status of a resident over a period of time (from the previous assessment to the most current assessment). When a facility specializes in short-term stays, most of the assessments that the facility submits are admission assessments. Admission assessments reflect the status of a resident on admission, therefore QI’s are not reported for an admission assessment. However, if another assessment is submitted for the resident (i.e., Quarterly), the assessment will now be used in calculating the Quality Indicators
