PRMR

SMR is reported annually and is calculated by dividing the number of observed community-onset sepsis deaths by the number of predicted community-onset sepsis deaths. 

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older at the start of the measurement period with one or more inpatient encounters during the measurement period who have an advance care planning document or documentation of an advance care planning discussion resulting in a documented decision in the electronic health record (EHR) by the time of hospital discharge for at least one hospital encounter during the measurement period.
