Change in rasch derived values of self-care function from admission to discharge among adult patients treated as short term rehabilitation patients in a skilled nursing facility who were discharged alive. The time frame for the measure is 12 months. The measure includes the following 8 items: Eating, Grooming, Dressing Upper Body, Dressing Lower Body, Toileting, Bowel, Expression, and Memory.
A self-report outcome measure of functional status for patients 14 years+ with elbow, wrist, hand impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO (elbow, wrist and hand) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.
This is a patient-reported outcome performance measure (PRO-PM) consisting of an item response theory-based patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of change in functional status (FS) for patients aged 14 years and older with foot and ankle impairments. The change in FS is assessed using the FOTO Lower Extremity Physical Function (LEPF) 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.
A self-report outcome measure of functional status for patients 14 years+ with general orthopaedic impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO (general orthopedic) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level by to assess quality.
A self-report measure of change in functional status for patients 14 years+ with hip impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO’s (hip) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.
A self-report measure of change in functional status for patients 14 year+ with knee impairments. The change in functional status assessed using FOTO’s (knee ) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.
This is a patient-reported outcome performance measure (PRO-PM) consisting of an item response theory-based patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) of risk-adjusted change in functional status (FS) for patients aged 14 years and older with low back impairments. The change in FS is assessed using the 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.
A self-report outcome measure of change in functional status for patients 14 years+ with shoulder impairments. The change in functional status assess using FOTO’s (shoulder) PROM is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality.
Inpatients age 6 months and older discharged during October, November, December, January, February or March who are screened for influenza vaccine status and vaccinated prior to discharge if indicated.
NQF #0496 calculates the median time from emergency department arrival to time of departure from the emergency room for patients discharged from the emergency department (ED). The measure is calculated using chart-abstracted data, on a rolling quarterly basis, and is publically reported in aggregate for one calendar year. The measure has been publically reported since 2013 as part of the ED Throughput measure set of the CMS’ Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting (HOQR) Program.
