Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center Comments on Pneumonia:
We are a small rural facility in a retirement community. In our sampled population the average age was 81 years. The average mortality risk was a 4. The average number of diagnostic codes was 4. The raw statistics do not reflect this skewed data. We feel this data cannot be compared generally unless all other statistics reflect similar or comparable demographic and co-morbid conditions.
Many of our patients came in with POLST forms or advance directives already in place indicating that they were not to be resuscitated or did not want extensive life saving measures.
Our concern is that the average consumer, looking at these statistics, may infer our care is substandard because our death rate is higher than expected.
