The percentage of patients 18–75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who had each of the following:
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing (NQF#0057)
- HbA1c poor control (>9.0%) (NQF#0059)
- HbA1c control (<8.0%) (NQF#0575)
- HbA1c control (<7.0%) for a selected population*
- Eye exam (retinal) performed (NQF#0055)
- LDL-C screening (NQF#0063)
- LDL-C control (<100 mg/dL) (NQF#0064)
- Medical attention for nephropathy (NQF#0062)
- BP control (<140/90 mm Hg) (NQF#0061)
- Smoking status and cessation advice or treatment

The percentage of patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who had an eye exam (retinal) performed.

The percentage of members 18-75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) whose most recent LDL-C test is <100 mg/dL during the measurement year.

The percentage of members 18-75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who received an LDL-C test during the measurement year.

The percentage of patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who received a nephropathy screening test or monitoring test or had evidence of nephropathy during the measurement year.

Any time an endotracheal tube is placed into a patients airway in the Emergency Department (ED)or a patient arrives to the ED with an endotracheal tube already in place ( via EMS or hospital transfer) there should be appropriate confirmation of ETT placement and documentation of its performance in the medical record.

The following 6 composites and 1 single-item measure are generated from the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) Surgical Care Survey. Each measure is used to assess a particular domain of surgical care quality from the patient’s perspective.

Measure 1: Information to help you prepare for surgery (2 items)
Measure 2: How well surgeon communicates with patients before surgery (4 items)
Measure 3: Surgeon’s attentiveness on day of surgery (2 items)
Measure 4: Information to help you recover from surgery (4 items)

Percentage of adults of at least 18 years of age with pharmacotherapy for opioid use disorder (OUD) who have at least 180 days of continuous treatment

Percentage of women aged 15-44 years at risk of unintended pregnancy that is provided a long-acting reversible method of contraception (i.e., implants, intrauterine devices or systems (IUD/IUS)).

It is an access measure because it is intended to identify very low rates (less than 1-2%) of long-acting reversible methods of contraception (LARC), which may signal barriers to LARC provision.
