• The required quarterly sample size is at least 20% of the stratum population for the quarter.

Monthly Sample Size Based on Initial Patient Population for the HBIPS Discharge (HBIPS-DSC) Measures If Average Monthly Stratum Initial Patient Population Size “N” equals: |
|---|
>295 then Minimum Required Stratum Sample Size “n” = 60 |
76-295 then Minimum Required Stratum Sample Size “n” = 20% of the Initial Patient Population |
15-75 then Minimum Required Stratum Sample Size “n” = 44 |
<15 then No sampling: 100% of the Initial Patient Population is required |
