Supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) has retooled the existing claims-based measures NQF1550 and NQF3493 into an electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) to assess the risk-standardized complication rate (RSCR) following elective primary total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) at the clinician group level. This novel eCQM includes risk-adjustment for social determinants of health, includes all adult patients from all payers, leverages electronic health records (EHRs) rather than claims-based data, and includes both inpatient and outpatient procedures and complications which offers benefits compared to existing metrics. Following testing in two geographically different healthcare systems, the overall risk-standardized complication rate within 90 days following THA and TKA at the two sites was 3.60% (Site 1) and 3.70% (Site 2). This measure is designed for use in the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS).
在医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)的支持下,布莱根妇女医院(BWH)对现有的基于索赔的衡量标准 NQF1550 和 NQF3493 进行了重新调整,将其转化为一种电子临床质量衡量标准(eCQM),用于评估择期初次全髋关节置换术(THA)和全膝关节置换术(TKA)后,临床医生群体层面的风险标准化并发症率(RSCR)。这种新颖的 eCQM 包括对健康的社会决定因素进行风险调整,涵盖了所有支付者的所有成年患者,利用电子健康记录(EHR)而不是基于索赔的数据,并包括住院和门诊手术及并发症,与现有指标相比具有优势。在两个地理位置不同的医疗保健系统中进行测试后,两个站点 THA 和 TKA 后 90 天内的总体风险标准化并发症率分别为 3.60%(站点 1)和 3.70%(站点 2)。该衡量标准旨在用于基于质量的激励支付系统(MIPS)中。
