Outcome Measure Ventilator Management Chronic Disease
Summative outcomes ■ Mortality ■ Mortality
■ Length of stay ■ Condition-related morbidities
■ Cost of inpatient stay ■ Cost per year at risk

Intermediate clinical outcomes Incidence of complications per 1,000 ventilator days % of patients whose condition is under physiologic control

Process outcomes Z100 Score % of time that all 7 elements of the bundle are done for every patient Cycle Time
■ Time from identification to engagement
■ Time from engagement to target
■ Time from failure to change of plan

Instant feedback Status of patients on a ventilator ■ Status of panels under management
