FIHN PCP Pod Meeting April 6, 2017
Reminder: Customer Service and Claim based Measure Scores pending EHR Measure Scores 20.97 Eye 39.11 A1c 35.48 Eye 20.56 A1c
Abstraction concerns Many patients failed CARE-3 (ACO-39): Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record (49.41%) • Most commonly due to lack of Route of Administration details • Also many prescriptions missing dose and frequency information • A similar measure replaces this for 2017 but still uses definition of a current reconciled medications list “The medication list should include all medications (prescriptions, over-the-counter, herbals, supplements, etc.) with dose, frequency, route, and reason for taking it. It is also important to verify whether the patient is actually taking the medication as prescribed or instructed, as sometimes this is not the case. “
Abstraction concerns Patients are failing PREV-9 (ACO-16): BMI Screening and follow-up (82.3%) • Different parameters based on age: EHR may not alert differently for 65+ • Age 65 and older BMI >= 23 and < 30 • Age 18-64 BMI >= 18.5 and < 25 • Many elderly patients are underweight per these parameters and are not receiving plans • Others are receiving plans to eat fewer calories, low salt, low fat, etc.- this would count on a report but may be a concern for appropriateness
Abstraction concerns Patients are failing or being excluded from MH-1 (ACO-40) at very high rates: Depression Remission at 12 months (6.7%) • Not the Depression Screening measure • Denominator: Age 18+ with dx of major depression or dysthymia AND an initial PHQ-9 score > 9 during the encounter • Numerator: Who achieved remission at 12 months as demonstrated by a twelve month (+/- 30 days) PHQ-9 score of less than 5 • Denominator exclusions: permanent nursing home residents, , dx of bipolar, dx of personality disorder
Abstraction concerns FIHN MSSP is just above benchmark for DM Composite: Hemoglobin A1C Poor Control and Retinal Eye Exam (31.2%) • 18-75 with diabetes with A1c >9%; inverse measure • 18-75 with diabetes who had a retinal or dilated eye exam by an eye care professional or negative retinal exam in 12 months prior to measurement period • These are composed together for the score
2017 Primary Focus on: • Depression Screening (c f/u plan) • Breast Cancer Screening • Colorectal Cancer Screening • Diabetes Composite Measure (HbA1C + Retinal Exam) • Depression Remission at 12 Months
Medication Reconciliation Post Discharge DESCRIPTION: The percentage of discharges from any inpatient facility (e.g. hospital, skilled nursing facility, or rehabilitation facility) for patients 18 years and older of age seen within 30 days following discharge in the office by the physician, prescribing practitioner, registered nurse, or clinical pharmacist providing on-going care for whom the discharge medication list was reconciled with the current medication list DEFINITION: Medication Reconciliation –Discharge medications are reconciled with the most recent medication list in the outpatient medical record. Must include evidence of medication reconciliation and the date. Any of the following evidence meets criteria: • Examples on signed documentation • Current medications with a notation that references the discharge medications (e.g., no changes in meds since discharge, same meds at discharge, discontinue all discharge meds) • Current medications with a notation that the discharge medications were reviewed • Notation: “reconciled the current and discharge meds” • A current medication list, a discharge medication list and notation that the appropriate practitioner type reviewed both lists on the same date of service • Notation that no medications were prescribed or ordered upon discharge • Document in EHR for quality reporting – check box for “reconciled” or “verified” • Important Note: Dose, frequency, route and reason for taking must be noted to the best of the provider’s ability
Depression Screening with follow-up • At least once in 2017- maybe during Annual Wellness Visit OR on Medicare Screening Questionnaire • If PHQ-2 is positive, follow up with PHQ-9 and/or Plan • May consider using z13.89 (encounter for screening of other disorder) • Document Exclusions: Active dx of depression or bipolar disorder • Document Exceptions: Refusals
