AQI 48: Patient-Reported Experience with Anesthesia

MEASURE DESCRIPTION:
Percentage of patients aged 18 and older, who were surveyed on their patient experience and satisfaction with anesthesia care and who reported a positive experience.

This measure will consist of two performance rates:

**AQI48a: Percentage of patients, aged 18 and older, who were surveyed on their patient experience and satisfaction with anesthesia care

**AQI48b: Percentage of patients, aged 18 and older, who completed a survey on their patient experience and satisfaction with anesthesia care and who report a positive experience with anesthesia care

NOTE: The measure requires that a valid survey, as defined in the numerator of 48a, be sent to patients between discharge from the facility and within 30 days of facility discharge. To report AQI 48b, a minimum number of 20 surveys, as described in the numerator of 48a, with the mandatory question completed must be reported. In order to be scored on this measure, clinicians must report BOTH AQI48a AND AQI48b.
