The measure is the percentage of patients who achieve a 3-point increase in their Patient Activation Measure® (PAM®) survey score within 12 months. The outcome measure demonstrates how a clinician group performed in providing best care to its patients by quantifying the proportion of patients who had at least a 3-point score change.
The Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Survey consists of 19 measures that assess the experiences of Medicaid participants’ age 18 and older receiving long-term services and supports (LTSS). The measures report a case-mix adjusted top-box score. Measure scores are calculated based on participant responses to a cross-disability survey about their experiences with the LTSS they receive in the community, delivered through a Medicaid-funded HCBS program.
This measure assesses how well facilities provide clear, personalized discharge instructions to patients aged 18 years or older who had a surgery or procedure at an outpatient facility. It uses a 9-item survey to obtain patient’s feedback on 3 domains: applicability; medications; and daily activities. Facility scores are calculated by averaging the individual patient scores for each facility.
