  1. HIT Standards Committee -Clinical Quality Measure Update Thomas Tsang, MD, MPH ONC February 16, 2011

  2. Background • Stage 1 Meaningful Use requires 3 core and 3 additional CQMs for EPs and 15 CQMs for hospitals to be reported (aggregate level data for numerator, denominator and exclusions through attestation) • Stage 1 contains 44 ambulatory care measures for EPs • Stage 2 incorporates a transparent and collaborative process for prioritization for measure concept/selection process • HIT PC QWG-six tiger teams created

  3. Clinical Quality Measures Testing/Validation of e-Specifications Establish National Priorities Identify Measures Harmonize and Coordinate Identify Measure Gaps Measure Development Retooling Process Interagency Input and Public Comment Public Comment Incorporate into Final Rule Vocabulary Sets required for Certified EHRs Confidential For Internal Use Only

  11. Criteria for Measure Selection • *National Quality Forum, 2010 Gretsky Group Report

  12. Measure Domain Areas • Patient & Family Engagement • Clinical Appropriateness/Efficiency • Care Coordination • Patient Safety • Population & Public Health

  13. Findings: Measure Recommendations

  14. Patient & Family Engagement Most Promising Measures • Patient experience of care & HIT connection with providers • Measurement of functional status & health risk • Patient activation and self-management skills Methodological Issues • Defining discrete measures from larger validated instruments • Data platform for patient-reported measures • Sampling versus census approach to data collection

  15. Clinical Appropriateness/Efficiency Most Promising Measures • Lipid Control using Framingham risk score • Measure assessing the appropriate use of diagnostic imaging procedures, with measures for redundancy, cumulative exposure, and appropriateness • Measure assessing appropriate medication treatments, including overuse and/or underuse Methodological Issues • Readmissions measures currently are using claims and administrative data (incorporation of claims) • Measures using risk assessment scores and algorithms will need further work

  16. Next Steps • A superset of measure concepts/measures to be recommended • Individual Tiger Team meetings for final recommendations • Further workgroup attention to: • Capturing patient-reported measures • Integration of multiple, longitudinal data sources • Framework for quality measures reporting (core/menu)

  17. Enabling Quality Through Measurement and Interoperability Clinical Care Individual Family Social Context Preferences PHR EHR Quality Data Set (QDS) element Social / Cultural Resources Clinicians Healthcare Organizations Environment Behavioral Electronic Quality Measures using the QDS registry Communities Public Health Universal Interoperable Health IT Standards using the QDS *NQF 2010

  18. Issues for HIT Standards • Recommendation and feedback of data elements for future e-measures (using the QDS model developed by NQF, funded by HHS) • Guidance and recommendation needed on evolution of QDS • Guidance on vocabulary sets for e-measures • Recommendations on methodologic issues related to eQMs (e.g.-patient self reported measures, delta measures)
