1.3 Measure Description

Percentage of final reports for all patients, regardless of age, undergoing bone scintigraphy that include physician documentation of correlation with existing relevant imaging studies (eg, x-ray, MRI, CT) that were performed

    • 1.14 Numerator

      Final reports that include physician documentation of correlation with existing relevant* imaging studies (eg, x-ray, MRI, CT)

      Definition:
      *Relevant imaging studies are defined as studies that correspond to the same anatomical region in question.

    • 1.15 Denominator

      All final reports for patients, regardless of age, undergoing bone scintigraphy

      Note: Correlative studies are considered to be unavailable if relevant studies (reports and/or actual examination material)from other imaging modalities exist but could not be obtained after reasonable efforts to retrieve the studies are made by the interpreting physician prior to the finalization of the bone scintigraphy report.

    • Exclusions

      System reason for not documenting correlation with existing relevant imaging studies in final report (eg, no existing relevant imaging study available, patient did not have a previous relevant imaging study)

      Physician Performance Measures (Measures) and related data specifications, developed by the Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement® (the
      Consortium), are intended to facilitate quality improvement activities by physicians.
      These Measures are intended to assist physicians in enhancing quality of care. Measures are designed for use by any physician who manages the care of a patient
      for a specific condition or for prevention. These performance Measures are not clinical guidelines and do not establish a standard of medical care. The
      Consortium has not tested its Measures for all potential applications. The Consortium encourages the testing and evaluation of its Measures.
      Measures are subject to review and may be revised or rescinded at any time by the Consortium. The Measures may not be altered without the prior written
      approval of the Consortium. Measures developed by the Consortium, while copyrighted, can be reproduced and distributed, without modification, for
      noncommercial purposes, e.g., use by health care providers in connection with their practices. Commercial use is defined as the sale, license, or distribution of
      the Measures for commercial gain, or incorporation of the Measures into a product or service that is sold, licensed or distributed for commercial gain.
