Measure Description
The PSWR measure tracks the number of prevalent dialysis patients in a
practitioner (inclusive of physicians and advanced practice providers) group who are under the age of 75 and
were listed on the kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant waitlist or received a living donor transplant. For each
practitioner group, the Prevalent Standardized Waitlist Ratio (PSWR) is calculated to compare the observed
number of waitlist events in a practitioner group to its expected number of waitlist events. The PSWR uses the
expected waitlist events calculated from a Cox model, adjusted for patient age, incident and prevalent
comorbidities, previous waitlisting and transplant, dual eligibility, Area Deprivation Index (ADI), and transplant
center characteristics.

Effective March 27, 2023, the National Quality Forum (NQF) is no longer the consensus-based entity (CBE) funded through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) National Consensus Development and Strategic Planning for Health Care Quality Measurement Contract. Battelle has been selected to oversee the endorsement & maintenance (E&M) of clinical quality and cost/resource use measures. Since the Fall 2022 cycle launched at NQF, measures submitted to this E&M cycle continued along the prior E&M protocols that were in place at time of the Fall 2022 “Intent to Submit.” Battelle took over the E&M work for the Fall 2022 cycle after developers and/or stewards submitted their full measure information to NQF, which for CBE #3719, the most recent measure specifications can be found here: https://p4qm.org/sites/default/files/2024-02/3719.zip
Battelle took over the E&M work beginning with the public comment period to close the E&M committees for the post-comment meeting, convening the CSAC to render a final endorsement decision, and executing the appeals period.
