Core Measures What you need to know
Quality, Accreditation, & Patient Safety Department
What is a core measure?
An evidenced based indicator that is used to measure the quality of patient care.
2
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
Clinical Focus Areas
• Heart Failure (HF)
• Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)
• Pneumonia (PN)
• Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP)
4
Heart Failure Measures • Discharge Instructions (6 key components):
– Diet – Activity level – Follow-up appt. – 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
Why are we here today? #1 Reason: The PATIENT
It isn’t just about the numbers….
it is about the right care every time.
6
Proper care must be reflected in the Medical Record with the appropriate
and specific information
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
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.)
