1

Sensitivity – when the manual review confirmed that the query correctly identified the patient in the numerator and met the eligibility criteria for each of the sub-measures.

2

Specificity when the manual review confirmed that the patient, as identified by the query, was not part of the numerator.

3

Positive Predictive Value (PPV) – when the query confirmed that the patient was part of the numerator as identified by the manual query.

4

Negative Predictive Value (NPV) – when the query confirmed that the patient was only part of the denominator as defined by the manual query.

*

Number of charts reviewed manually as determined by sample size calculation and sample proportions (given by the queried measure score)

§

Kappa values calculated for the first 50 random manual review charts to assess the calibration among paired reviewers within each institution
