The Numerator is the number of long-stay residents with a selected target assessment where stage II-IV or unstageable pressure ulcers are present, as indicated by any of the following six conditions:

  1. M0300B1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]

  2. M0300C1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]

  3. M0300D1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]

  4. M0300E1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]

  5. M0300F1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]

  6. M0300G1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9]


The Denominator is all long-stay residents with a selected target assessment, except those with exclusions.
