  • Clarification on OB Legacy & MI AIM Surveys

    The KDS Admin Team would like to provide clarification regarding the OB Legacy Survey being disabled. Both the OB Legacy and OB MI AIM Surveys are within KDS. However, some Michigan hospitals were entering monthly data in the OB Legacy Survey and did not realize they should be entering quarterly data into the OB MI AIM Survey.

    The OB MI AIM Survey measures align with the National AIM program, whereas the OB Legacy Survey did not.

    The KDS Admin Team transferred data from the OB Legacy Survey to the OB MI AIM Survey for two, consistent measures that were numerators and denominators for hemorrhage and hypertension. Data was transferred from the OB Legacy Survey if no data was present in the OB MI AIM Survey for the same time period (year and quarter). The data was not transferred if there were discrepancies between the two surveys for the two measures for any given quarter.

    We encourage all hospitals who submit data to the OB MI AIM Survey to verify their 2017 and 2018 quarterly data.
