- Exhibit A1: 2013 Interim AHRQ National Scorecard Data on HACs (Calculated October 23, 2014).
- Exhibit A2: AHRQ National Scorecard HACs for 2013 vs. 2010, and Projected 2013 Cost Savings and Reductions in Deaths Associated With HACs.
- Exhibit A3: Percent Reduction in AHRQ National Scorecard HACs From 2010 to 2013 (Interim).
- Exhibit A4: Estimates, Goals, and Projections for HACs at the Launch of PfP Initiative in 2011.
Exhibit A1 provides the interim 2013 data on HACs. The HACs that are the focus of the PfP initiative are shown, as well as the source of the data and the corresponding measures related to each HAC. The interim rate for 2013 is 121 HACs per 1,000 discharges, which is a 17 percent reduction from the 2010 baseline of 145 HACs per 1,000 discharges before the start of the PfP initiative.
