Which metric is NOT typically included in quality improvement measures under CoP?

Quality improvement measures under the Conditions of Participation (CoP) primarily focus on aspects that directly impact patient care, safety, and satisfaction. Metrics such as readmission rates, patient safety incidents, and patient survey outcomes are crucial in assessing the quality of care provided to patients.

Readmission rates indicate how effectively care transitions are managed and whether patients are receiving appropriate follow-up care. Patient safety incidents are critical for identifying areas where care can be improved to prevent harm to patients. Similarly, patient survey outcomes reflect the patient’s perspective on the care they received, which directly relates to service quality and patient satisfaction.

On the other hand, inventory turnover is a metric that relates to the management of resources and supplies within a healthcare setting, rather than directly measuring quality of patient care or safety. It focuses on the efficiency of managing inventory rather than patient outcomes or experiences, which is why it is not included in the traditional quality improvement measures emphasized by CoP.
