1 4/30/2012 How to perform Chart Talk s Clinical Quality Measures Introduction This document aims to explain, in layman s terms, the process of demonstrating the NQF endorsed Meaningful Use Quality Measures using Chart Talk. The Chart Talk method of performing Clinical Quality Measures utilizes the patient education and clinical decision support rule requirements of Meaningful Use to help providers identify the patients, and steps needed to perform various clinical quality measures. Before we begin lets go over the terminology used in this document and in the conversation when discussing demonstrating quality in a clinical setting. Clinical Quality Measures (CQM)- A set procedure of events that attempts to ensure that patients receive quality and consistent health care. Various organizations are responsible for developing the "quality measures" such as the National Quality Forum (NQF) and Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). Denominators-Similar to other Meaningful Use measures, CQMs measure compliancy in percentages. Every quality measure targets a specific patient population. This targeted group becomes the denominator of the equation. For example, all patients that are over 18, that have been seen for more than two encounters in the reporting period, and that have a diagnosis of hypertension (401.9) make up the patient population for the denominator of one CQM. Numerators-When referring to CQMs, the numerator is the number of patients from the initial population (Denominator) that have had the procedure, medication, immunization, or other requirement to demonstrate the quality measure. In the above example, patients in the numerator would be all patients that are over 18, that have been seen for more than two encounters in the reporting period, that have a diagnosis of hypertension (401.9) and have had their blood pressure measures. This shows that a hypertensive adult patient that has a relationship with the provider is having their blood pressure monitored. Simple enough, right? Age Group Targeted- The age group targeted is the age group affected by the quality measure. Each measure targets a specific group. Remember that different measures target different age groups. Measures can even have more than one reportable percentage for different age groups. Idea- The basic concept of the quality measure and why this is required/suggested for demonstrating clinical quality.

2 Codes Needed to Demonstrate- These are CPT, ICD-9, ICD-10, HCPCS, SNOMED, LOINC, and RXNORM codes applicable for diagnosis, encounters, and other concepts required to successfully demonstrate a CQM. Encounter The term encounter implies an office visit by a patient. When calculating CQMs only certain encounter codes are only deemed applicable to different measures. In the document below all of these codes are listed for each measure. We have made an effort to highlight the most common codes that your clinic uses. Diagnosis Codes referencing certain problems. These can be ICD-9, ICD-10, SNOMED,or clinical measurements. Chart Talk CQM Notification Actions Chart Talk s designers had the forethought to integrate patient notifications to use Clinical Decision Support rules to help demonstrate the intricate requirements for CQM. Patients that fall into the denominator of a measure can be flagged so that Chart Talk notifies the provider when they count towards a CQM. Following the onscreen decision rule and acknowledging or excluding the patient can write the necessary procedural code into the CQM field of the daily visit. CPT codes, HCPCS, SNOMED codes are used to complete the quality measure and move the patient into the numerator of the CQM. Now that we have a basic vocabulary to discuss quality measures let s look every measure specifically to understand how it is demonstrated.

3 NQF 0013 Hypertension Blood Pressure Management AGE GROUP TARGETED: All patients 18+ Idea To demonstrate this quality ]measure all patients over 18 with two office encounters (exams) that are diagnosed with hypertension (e.g ) should have their blood pressure monitored. Denominator All Patients that are over 18 years of age, with a diagnosis of hypertension and that have had two or more ENCONTERS during the reporting period. Numerator Patients from the denominator that have had a blood pressure measurement within the reporting period. Codes Need to Demonstrate: Encounter (CPT): 99201, 99202, 99203, 99204, 99205, 99212, 99213, 99214, 99215, 99241, 99242, 99243, 99244, 99245, 99324, 99325, 99326, 99327, 99328, 99334, 99335, 99336, 99337, 99341, 99342, 99343, 99344, 99345, 99347, 99348, 99349, Diagnosis: Hypertension ICD , 401.1, 401.9, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ICD-10-I10, I11, I13, I13.0, I13.10, I13.2 SNOMED: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Chart Talk CQM Notification Actions: No action codes are necessary because quality is demonstrated using a blood pressure measurement. A good idea is to create your own notification rule to alert the clinic when the patients blood pressure is high. By definition hypertension is 140/90 create an alert that notifies for all patients over 18 who has a systolic blood pressure over 140.

10 NQF 0052 Low Back Pain: Overuse of imaging studies AGE GROUP TARGETED: All patients Idea This measure assesses the percentage of patients in a specific age demographic who did not receive an imaging study (i.e., x ray, MRI, CT scan) in the 28 days following a new episode of low back pain. Low back pain is the second most frequently listed reason for physician office visits. It is a common cause of lost productivity and absenteeism from work in the United States. The general consensus from literature reviews indicates that nearly half of American adults will experience low back pain in a year, and about two thirds will suffer from it in their lifetime. Low back pain is particularly prevalent among men and women between 30 and 50 years of age, and most likely results from aging and an inactive lifestyle. Low back pain has a significant financial impact, costing an average of $8,000 per claim (Atlas, Devo 2001). This measure facilitates efforts toward improved musculoskeletal condition and improved quality of life. Denominator All Patients that are between 18 and 50 years of age with ENCOUNTERS during the reporting period.

Video demonstration available from the Mighty Oak User Group.

11 NQF 0055 Diabetes Eye Exam Idea This measure evaluates the percentage of patients in a specific age demographic who were diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who had an eye (retinal) exam performed. Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by the body s inability to correctly produce or utilize the hormone insulin. It is recognized as a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. and is highly underreported as a cause of death. Diabetes of either type may cause life threatening, life ending or life altering complications, including glaucoma and blindness. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common diabetic eye disease and causes 21,000 4,000 new cases of blindness annually. The consensus among established clinical guidelines is that patients with both types of diabetes should have an initial dilated and comprehensive eye exam soon after diagnosis (ADA 2009). Guidelines also recommend consultation with an ophthalmologist for treatment options if a patient has any level of macular edema or diabetic retinopathy (proliferative and nonproliferative). This measure facilitates the prevention and long term management of retinal based complications for patients diagnosed with diabetes. Denominator All Patients that are between 18 and 75 years of age, with a diagnosis of diabetes, and with ENCOUNTERS during the reporting period. Numerator Patients from the denominator who received an retinal eye exam in the reporting period.

14 NQF 0061 Diabetes: Blood Pressure Management Idea This measure evaluates the percentage of patients in a specific age demographic who were diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and who sustain adequate blood pressure control. Diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels caused by the body s inability to correctly produce or utilize the hormone insulin It is recognized as a leading cause of death and disability in the U.S. and is highly underreported as a cause of death. Diabetes of either type may cause life threatening, life ending or life altering complications, including poor blood pressure control and subsequent cardiovascular disease of varying severity. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure has been shown to reduce complications due to diabetes, with a 10 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure lowering the risk of complications by 12% It also reduces the chance of cardiovascular disease among patient with diabetes by up to 50% and reduces the chance of other related complications (eye, kidney, nerve) by more than 25% This measure facilitates long term management of blood pressure levels for patients diagnosed with diabetes.
