States are considering a number of different types of performance standards, including the proportion of hospital PE determinations made in an outpatient setting (given that a strong incentive exists for determinations in inpatient settings but it is desirable to also implement PE for outpatients to ensure reaching as broad a population as possible) and the number of hospital PE applications completed in one month. Other states are collecting baseline data in order to measure hospital performance and plan to establish specific standards at a later point.
