Follow-up After Emergency Department Visits for Asthma

  • This process measure seeks to capture follow up after asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits for children with asthma after discharge from the ED, as recommended by the NHLBI 2007 guidelines. This measure assesses the percentage of asthma-related ED visits for children ages 3-21 with a follow-up visit with a primary care clinician or an asthma subspecialist within 14 days of discharge from the ED, within the reporting year, for patients who are enrolled in the health plan for two consecutive months following the ED visit.

3-Item Care Transition Measure (CTM-3)

  • The CTM-3 is a hospital level measure of performance that reports the average patient reported quality of preparation for self-care response among adult patients discharged from general acute care hospitals within the past 30 days.

30 Day All-cause Risk Standardized Mortality Odds Ratio following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).

  • This measure estimates hospital risk standardized odds ratio for death from all causes within 30 days following transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The measure uses clinical data available in the STS/ACC TVT Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure used site-reported 30-day follow-up data contained in the STS/ACC TVT Registry.

30-day all-cause risk-standardized mortality rate following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) for patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or cardiogenic shock

  • This measure estimates hospital risk-standardized 30-day all-cause mortality rate following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients who are 18 years of age or older with STEMI or cardiogenic shock at the time of procedure. The measure uses clinical data available in the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) CathPCI Registry for risk adjustment. For the purpose of development and testing, the measure cohort was derived in a Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) population of patients 65 years of age or older with a PCI.

30-Day Risk Standardized All-Cause Emergency Department Visit Following an Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Discharge

  • The 30-Day Risk Standardized All-Cause Emergency Department Visit Following an Inpatient Psychiatric Facility (IPF) Discharge (IPF ED Visit) measure assesses the proportion of patients ages 18 and older with an emergency department (ED) visit, including observation stays, for any cause, within 30 days of discharge from an IPF, without subsequent admission. The IPF ED Visit measure is an outcome-based measure.

30-day Risk Standardized Morbidity and Mortality Composite following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

  • The TAVR 30-day morbidity/mortality composite is a hierarchical, multiple outcome risk model that estimates risk standardized results (reported as a “site difference”) for the purpose of benchmarking site performance. This measure estimates hospital risk standardized site difference for 5 endpoints (death from all causes, stroke, major or life-threatening bleeding, acute kidney injury, moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation) within 30 days following transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

30-Day Unplanned Readmissions for Cancer Patients

  • 30-Day Unplanned Readmissions for Cancer Patients measure is a cancer-specific measure. It provides the rate at which all adult cancer patients covered as Fee-for-Service Medicare beneficiaries have an unplanned readmission within 30 days of discharge from an acute care hospital. The unplanned readmission is defined as a subsequent inpatient admission to a short-term acute care hospital, which occurs within 30 days of the discharge date of an eligible index admission and has an admission type of “emergency” or “urgent.”

Acute Otitis Media - Appropriate First-Line Antibiotics

  • The proportion of encounters at which antibiotics prescribed to patients aged 2 months to 12 years for Acute Otitis Media (AOM) conform to the AAP/AAFP recommendation for first-line use of amoxicillin.

Adherence to ACEIs/ARBs for Individuals with Diabetes Mellitus

  • The measure addresses adherence to angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). The measure is reported as the percentage of eligible individuals with diabetes mellitus who had at least two prescriptions for ACEIs/ARBs and who have a Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) of at least 0.8 during the measurement period (12 consecutive months).
