Values are the unweighted average of the region’s hospitals’ safety composite (PSI 90) score between July 2010 and June 2013 and July 2011 and June 2014. The score includes pressure ulcers, iatrogenic pneumothorax, infection as a result of medical care, accidental puncture or laceration, and postoperative hip fracture, pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, sepsis, and wound dehiscence. The composite score is scaled such that values < 1 represent lower than expected complication rates and values > 1 represent higher than expected rates.
