Does agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( AHRQ ) Patient Safety Indicator for Postoperative Respiratory Failure ( PSI 11 ) identify accurately patients who received unsafe care?
Administrative coding data for Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicator 11 do not identify accurately patients who received unsafe care when taking into account unpreventable clinical factors causing postoperative respiratory failure. The use of Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Patient Safety Indicator 11 as a hospital performance measure should be reconsidered until inclusion and exclusion criteria are revised.
