Single Measure

Screening/Surveillance Colonoscopy

The Screening/Surveillance Colonoscopy cost measure evaluates clinicians’ risk-adjusted cost to Medicare for beneficiaries who receive this procedure. The cost measure score is a clinician’s average risk-adjusted cost for the episode group averaged across all episodes attributed to the clinician. This procedural measure includes costs of services that are clinically related to the attributed clinician’s role in managing care from the day of the clinical event that opens or ‘triggers’ the episode, through 14 days after the trigger.

Shared Decision Making Process

This measure assesses the extent to which health care providers actually involve patients in a decision-making process when there is more than one reasonable option. This proposal is to focus on patients who have undergone any one of 7 common, important surgical procedures: total replacement of the knee or hip, lower back surgery for spinal stenosis of herniated disc, radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, mastectomy for early stage breast cancer or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for stable angina.
