Percentage of patients 18 years of age and older with heart failure who completed initial and follow-up patient-reported functional status assessments.
Measure Type: Process
HIV Annual Retention in Care
Percentage of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) before or during the first 240 days of the performance period who had at least two eligible encounters or at least one eligible encounter and one HIV viral load test that were at least 90 days apart within the performance period.
Total Knee or Hip Replacement: Shared Decision-Making: Trial of Conservative (Non-surgical) Therapy
Percentage of patients regardless of age undergoing a total knee or total hip replacement with documented shared decision- making with discussion of conservative (non-surgical) therapy (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), analgesics, weight loss, exercise, injections) prior to the procedure.
Total Knee or Hip Replacement: Venous Thromboembolic and Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation
Percentage of patients regardless of age undergoing a total knee or total hip replacement who are evaluated for the presence or absence of venous thromboembolic and cardiovascular risk factors within 30 days prior to the procedure (e.g., History of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), Myocardial Infarction (MI), Arrhythmia and Stroke).
Patient-Centered Surgical Risk Assessment and Communication
Percentage of patients who underwent a non-emergency surgery who had their personalized risks of postoperative complications assessed by their surgical team prior to surgery using a clinical data-based, patient-specific risk calculator and who received personal discussion of those risks with the surgeon.
Optimizing Patient Exposure to Ionizing Radiation: Count of Potential High Dose Radiation Imaging Studies: Computed Tomography (CT) and Cardiac Nuclear Medicine Studies
Percentage of computed tomography (CT) and cardiac nuclear medicine (myocardial perfusion or infarct avid imaging) reports for all patients, regardless of age, that document a count of known previous CT (any type of CT) and cardiac nuclear medicine (myocardial perfusion or infarct avid imaging) studies that the patient has received in the 12-month period prior to the current study.
Optimizing Patient Exposure to Ionizing Radiation: Appropriateness: Follow-up CT Imaging for Incidentally Detected Pulmonary Nodules According to Recommended Guidelines
Percentage of final reports for CT imaging studies with a finding of an incidental pulmonary nodule for patients aged 35 years and older that contain an impression or conclusion that includes a recommended interval and modality for follow-up (e.g., type of imaging or biopsy) or for no follow-up, and source of recommendations (e.g., guidelines such as Fleischner Society, American Lung Association, American College of Chest Physicians).
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.
Appropriate Follow-Up Interval for Normal Colonoscopy in Average Risk Patients
Percentage of patients aged 45 to 75 years of age receiving a screening colonoscopy without biopsy or polypectomy who had a recommended follow-up interval of 10 years for repeat colonoscopy documented in their colonoscopy report.
Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Flutter: Chronic Anticoagulation Therapy
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter who were prescribed an FDA-approved oral anticoagulant drug for the prevention of thromboembolism during the measurement period.
