ED Transfer Communication Clinical Improvement Study

21 out of the 48 CAHs submitted deep dive data, 13 of the 48 submitted high level data via PIN Benchmarking. If your facility did not report to the PIN Benchmarking, or to the ED Transfer Study there will not be a report.

 

The PIN has identified differences between PIN Benchmarking ED transfer measures and the deep dive clinical improvement study measures for some hospitals.   These could be due to a wide variety of reasons.  Please see your clinical study report for further information.
