1 Core Measures What you need to know Quality, Accreditation, & Patient Safety Department
2 What is a core measure? An evidenced based indicator that is used to measure the quality of patient care. 2
3 Why do Hospitals Perform Core Measures? To provide the best care to our patients according to evidence based research. The hospital s results are reported to the Joint Commission and CMS where they are compared to other hospitals. Receive higher reimbursement from Medicare and other payers. Hospitals that do not participate in the initiative will receive a reduction of 2 percent in their Medicare Annual Payment 3
4 Clinical Focus Areas Heart Failure (HF) Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Pneumonia (PN) Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) 4

What to do if symptoms worsen Weight monitoring Discharge Medications Evaluation of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor (ACEI) or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker ( ARB) for Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD) Beta-blocker prescribed at discharge for LVSD 5
6 Why are we here today? #1 Reason: The PATIENT It isn t just about the numbers. it is about the right care every time. Proper care must be reflected in the Medical Record with the appropriate and specific information 6
7 What can physicians do to help? Improve documentation: Use pre-printed orders Document contraindication such as ACEI / ARB, Beta-blockers, foleys, antibiotics, etc. Understand the discharge process and what documentation is needed from you ex. Medications per Medication Reconciliation
8 What can physicians do to help? Realize you can impact patient outcomes. Be a part of the process work with the hospital team on implementations. Be aware of the specific metrics for AMI, HF, PNE, and SCIP. Communicate frequently with hospital team (Nursing, Quality, Case Management, etc.)
