Within the PC-Newborn population, there are two baby measures Exclusive Human Milk Feeding
(PC-05) and Unexpected Complications in Term Newborns (PC-06). Unexpected Complications in
Term Newborns measure does not allow for sampling. Hospitals selecting cases for the PC-Newborn
with Exclusive Human Milk Feeding must ensure that the patient population size for this
measure meets the following conditions.
Quarterly Sampling
Quarterly Sample Size Based on PC-Newborn Initial Patient Population to use for Exclusive Human Milk Feeding Average If Average Quarterly Initial Patient Population Size “N” equals: |
|---|
≥541 then Minimum Required Sample Size “n” =109 |
136 - 540 then Minimum Required Sample Size “n” = 20% of Initial Patient Population size |
27 - 135 then Minimum Required Sample Size “n” = 27 |
<27 then no sampling: 100% Initial Patient Population required |
Monthly Sampling
Monthly Sample Size Based on Initial Patient Population for Exclusive Human Milk Feeding If Average Monthly Initial Patient Sample Group Size “N” equals: |
|---|
≥181 then Minimum Required Sampling Group Sample Size “n” =37 |
46 - 180 then Minimum Required Sampling Group Sample Size “n” = 20% of Initial Patient Population size |
9 - 45 then Minimum Required Sampling Group Sample Size “n” = 9 |
<9 then no sampling: 100% Initial Patient Population required |
