Myocardial Infarction Quality Measures

Inpatient Mortality

The mortality rate (measured as a percentage) provides general information about the quality of care delivery, and can be an important quality indicator. However, some hospitals care for patients with a greater severity of illness and therefore may have a higher mortality rate.

According to the most recent national data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), inpatient mortality rate for heart attack in the US for all reporting hospitals was 7.5 percent.
