APPENDIX 6Indicator Definitions

Table of indicator includes complete specification of current HCUP indicators and potential HCUP indicators evaluated in this evidence report.

Indicators are organized by indicator type. Each indicator is numbered with a unique identifier used throughout the report.

The numerator refers to the outcome of interest and the denominator refers to the population at risk.

Some indicators specification are so detailed that the full specifications are included after the table.
