CMS s framework for Value Modifier

Transcription

1 CMS s framework for Value Modifier Relationship between quality of care, cost composites and the Value Modifier Clinical Care Patient Experience Population/ Community Health Patient Safety Care Coordination Efficiency Quality of Care Composite (50%) Value Modifier Score ( 2.0x to +2.0x) Total per Capita Costs Per capita costs per beneficiaries with specific conditions Cost Composite (50%) Exact breakdown of Quality of Care Composite has not been finalized by CMS and will also depend on method we elect to submit data 1

7 Physician Compare Outlines a phased plan for publicly reporting physician performance on quality measures In 2014, CMS will publicly report measures reported by large groups and ACOs Physicians will have a 30-day preview period of measure results In 2014, CMS will publicly report CG-CAHPS measures As early as 2015, CMS will publicly report measures for individual physicians CMS will work with specialty societies to identify vetted measures for public reporting Website redesign is now live 7

8 2014 PQRS Incentive GPRO Proposed Changes to Criteria for Satisfactory Reporting/ Participation Under the GPRO for the 2014 PQRS Incentive 2014 Reporting Period (Jan 1-Dec 31) (Jan 1-Dec 31) Reporting Mechanism Group Practice Size Proposed Reporting Criteria Qualified Registry 2+ EPs Report at least 9 measures covering at least 3 of the National Quality Strategy domains; AND Report each measure for at least 50% of the group practice s applicable patients seen during the reporting period to which the measure applies.

10 Quality of care will be assessed by; PQRS and claims measures Including readmission data CG CAHPS Will be administered January March questions Most of the questions are about the interactions with a focal provider Focal provider the provider who provides the most primary care services based on number of visits in the claims Other questions ask about clerical staff, specialists and the health care team 10 PQRS physician quality reporting system; CG clinical group; CAHPS Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems
