| Quality Id | Measure Name | High Priority | Measure Type | Measure Description | hf:tax:specialty_measure_sets | hf:tax:collection_types | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBHR03 | Pain Interference Response utilizing PROMIS | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | The percentage of adult patients (18 years of age or older) who report pain issues and demonstrated a response to treatment at one month from the index score | Details | ||
| HM04 | Functional Status Change for Patients With Upper-limb Functional Status Deficit | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | Percentage of patients aged 13 years or older with a functional deficit related to the upper-limb who achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in QuickDASH or equivalent score that indicates a functional improvement greater than zero. Two rates will be reported: • The overall proportion of patients achieving an MCID in QuickDASH change score. • The Risk-Adjusted MCID proportional difference where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID (measured via QuickDASH or equivalent tool) proportion is greater than zero. The measure contains two goals: 1) for patients to achieve an unadjusted MCID greater than zero and, 2) for patients to achieve a risk adjusted MCID where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID proportion will be greater than zero. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status and quality of life outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician level, and at the clinic level to assess quality. | Details | ||
| HM05 | Functional Status Change for Patients With Neck Functional Status Deficit | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | Percentage of patients aged 18 years or older with a functional deficit related to the neck who achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in the Neck Disability Index (NDI) or equivalent score that indicates a functional improvement greater than zero. Two rates will be reported: • The overall proportion of patients achieving an MCID in NDI change score. • The Risk-Adjusted MCID proportional difference where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID (measured via NDI or equivalent tool) proportion is greater than zero. The measure contains two goals: 1) for patients to achieve an unadjusted MCID greater than zero and, 2) for patients to achieve a risk adjusted MCID where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID proportion will be greater than zero. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status and quality of life outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician level, and at the clinic level to assess quality. | Details | ||
| HM06 | Functional Status Change for Patients With Low Back Functional Status Deficit | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | Percentage of patients aged 18 years or older with a functional deficit related to the low back who achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire (ODI) or equivalent score that indicates a functional improvement greater than zero. Two rates will be reported: • The overall proportion of patients achieving an MCID in NDI change score. • The Risk-Adjusted MCID proportional difference where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID (measured via NDI or equivalent tool) proportion is greater than zero. The measure contains two goals: 1) for patients to achieve an unadjusted MCID greater than zero and, 2) for patients to achieve a risk adjusted MCID where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID proportion will be greater than zero. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status and quality of life outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician level, and at the clinic level to assess quality. | Details | ||
| HM07 | Functional Status Change for Patients with Vestibular Dysfunction | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | Percentage of patients aged 14 years and older diagnosed with vestibular dysfunction who achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) as measured via the validated Dizziness Handicap Inventory or equivalent instrument to indicate functional, emotional, and physical improvement • Submission Age Criteria 1: Patients aged 14-17 years of age • Submission Age Criteria 2: Patients aged 18-64 years of age • Submission Age Criteria 3: Patients aged 65 years and older • Submission Criteria 4: Overall total rate of patients aged 14 years and older The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status and quality of life outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician, and at the clinic level to assess quality. | Details | ||
| HM08 | Functional Status Change for Patients With Lower Extremity Functional Status Deficit | yes | Patient Reported Outcome | Percentage of patients aged 18 years or older with a functional deficit related to the lower extremity who achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) score that indicates a functional improvement greater than zero. Two rates will be reported: • The overall proportion of patients achieving an MCID in LEFS change score. • The Risk-Adjusted MCID proportional difference where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID (measured via LEFS) proportion is greater than zero. The measure contains two goals: 1) for patients to achieve an unadjusted MCID greater than zero and, 2) for patients to achieve a risk adjusted MCID where the difference between the risk adjusted predicted MCID and the observed MCID proportion will be greater than zero. The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with functional status and quality of life outcomes (risk adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician level, and at the clinic level to assess quality. | Details | ||
