Covariates Used in Risk Adjustment
Four sets of covariates are provided for the PDIs in two documents. For provider level indicators, you may choose between a reference population that includes "Present on Admission" data (new in v3.1), and the other that does not. For Area level indicators you may choose between risk adjustment based on age or based on age and the socioeconomic decile of each county. These versions correspond to the selections you may make within the QI software. (SAS Control file covariate settings, WinQI provider covariates is determined automatically based on the loaded data and area covariates may be selected on the report options.)
