Abstract
Quality improvement factors in patient care are ranked. Hospital performance is measured, such as a CMS measure. The variables and/or values relative contribution to quality of care is determined using medical records of the hospital. The variables and/or values are ranked according influence of the quality of care result. The ranking is performed by a given medical institution at a desired time rather than based on a broad study. The medical institution may regularly determine variables (e.g., admitting doctor) and/or values (e.g., doctor X) that are relevant to a decreased quality of care. Quality may be regularly improved using a software product.
