Gains in Patient Activation Measure (PAM®) Scores at 12 Months

The PAM® performance measure (PAM®-PM) is the change in score on the PAM® from baseline to follow-up measurement.
Functional Status Change for Patients with Neck Impairments
A patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of risk-adjusted change in functional status (FS) for patients 14 years+ with neck impairments. The change in FS is assessed using the FOTO Neck FS PROM. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with FS outcomes (risk-adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient, individual clinician, and clinic levels to assess quality.
Falls: Screening for Future Fall Risk
Percentage of patients 65 years of age and older who were screened for future fall risk during the measurement period.
Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for High Blood Pressure and Follow-Up Documented
Percentage of patient visits for patients aged 18 years and older seen during the measurement period who were screened for high blood pressure AND a recommended follow-up plan is documented, as indicated, if blood pressure is elevated or hypertensive.
Dementia: Cognitive Assessment
Percentage of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of dementia for whom an assessment of cognition is performed and the results reviewed at least once within the 12 months preceding a dementia encounter during the measurement period.

The change in FS is assessed using the FOTO Low Back FS PROM. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with FS outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient, individual clinician, and clinic levels to assess quality.
