2 MEASURE NAME: THPSO Measure #1: Perioperative Aspiration Pneumonia rate NQF NUMBER: Not applicable DESCRIPTION: Percentage of patients, independent of age, who receive a general anesthetic, and have an aspiration pneumonia identified within 48 hours. Patients who undergo emergent general anesthesia are excluded from this measure. MEASURE TYPE: Outcome Inverse Measure NATIONAL QUALITY DOMAIN: Patient Safety RISK ADJUSTMENT: Risk adjustment is performed in this measure by excluding emergent cases, where perioperative management (such as NPO status) cannot be controlled. In addition, this will help exclude many major trauma patients who may have aspirated prior to arrival due to their injury patterns. INSTRUCTIONS: Measure Reporting via QCDR Registry: This measure is to be reported once per general anesthetic performed during the reporting year. It is anticipated that clinicians who provide general anesthesia will submit this measure. CPT codes, SNOMED-CT codes, other normalized taxonomies, patient demographics, and other discrete data from data collection forms and/or systems may be used to identify patients who are included in the measure s denominator and numerator. The listed denominator and numerator options (THPSO codes) are used to report denominator and numerator eligible instances for the measure to the QCDR. Submitting providers and/or data sources must provide a crosswalk to, and receive approval from, the QCDR demonstrating how they have mapped internal normalized data to the QCDR numerator and denominator criteria. Codes clearly identifying all denominator eligible cases, as well as Performance Met, Denominator Exclusions, Denominator Exceptions, and Performance Not Met must be submitted to the registry. The below listed specific codes are to be submitted to the registry. Alternatives may be used with prior approval, as long as the submitting provider provides the registry with data that clearly delineates the below categories. DENOMINAT: Patients, independent of age, who undergo general anesthesia. Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): Patient encounter(s) during reporting period where patients underwent a general anesthesia. THPSO1-DN 2015, TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 2

3 NUMERAT: Patients with evidence of aspiration or aspiration pneumonia within 48 hours of completion of anesthesia. This may be from clinical observation, physical findings, or a new infiltrate identified on CXR by an anesthesia provider or radiologist within 48 hours of completion of anesthesia, which is consistent with aspiration pneumonia. Numerator Criteria: Performance Met: Evidence of aspiration or new aspiration pneumonia during anesthesia, or within 48 hours of completion of anesthesia. THPSO1-PM Denominator Exclusions: Emergent case. Can include modifier to ASA classification or other indication of an emergency. THPSO1-DE Denominator Exceptions: Performance Not Met: No evidence of aspiration or new aspiration pneumonia within 48 hours of completion of anesthesia. THPSO1- PNM RATIONALE: Pulmonary aspiration is a serious cause of anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality, and is a leading cause of death from pulmonary complications. Aspiration occurs in approximately three per 10,000 anesthetic procedures, and has a higher incidence in emergency situations. 1 The goal of perioperative management is to identify patients at high risk of significant postoperative pulmonary complications, and to provide appropriate interventions to minimize that risk. In most cases even high-risk patients procedures may be performed safely. Occasionally postponement, procedural modification, or cancellation are warranted. 1 Abdulla S.

THPSO2- PM Denominator Exclusions: Denominator Exceptions: Performance Not Met: No clinical evidence of a post-dural puncture headache within 48 hours of completion of anesthesia. THPSO2- PNM RATIONALE: Post-dural puncture headache is a known and common complication following dural puncture. Research has demonstrated that procedural methods, including the use of small-gauge needles, and needles of the pencil-point design, can lower the risk of this complication. Post-dural puncture headaches are diagnosed by history and physical exam. A strong postural component of the headache, along with a recent dural puncture, is an indicator of a post-dural puncture headache. 2 2 Ghaleb A, Khorasani A, Mangar D. Post-dural puncture headache.

It is anticipated that clinicians who perform anesthesia will submit this measure. Each case of anesthesia for patients, independent of age, are in the denominator. The listed numerator options are used to report the numerator for the measure. CPT codes, SNOMED-CT codes, other normalized taxonomies, patient demographics, and other discrete data from data collection forms and/or systems may be used to identify patients who are included in the measure s denominator and numerator. The listed denominator and numerator options (THPSO codes) are used to report denominator and numerator eligible instances for the measure to the QCDR. Submitting providers and/or data sources must provide a crosswalk to, and receive approval from, the QCDR demonstrating how they have mapped internal normalized data to the QCDR numerator and denominator criteria. Codes clearly identifying all denominator eligible cases, as well as Performance Met, Denominator Exclusions, Denominator Exceptions, and Performance Not Met must be submitted to the registry. The below listed specific codes are to be submitted to the registry. Alternatives may be used with prior approval, as long as the submitting provider provides the registry with data that clearly delineates the below categories. DENOMINAT: Patients, independent of age, who undergo an anesthetic procedure. Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): Patient encounter(s) for an anesthetic procedure in the operating room. THPSO12-DN 2015, TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 24

25 NUMERAT: Patients who develop respiratory arrest in PACU requiring intervention (bag/mask ventilation or intubation). Numerator Criteria: Performance Met: Respiratory arrest requiring intervention in the PACU. THPSO12-PM Denominator Exclusions: Denominator Exceptions: Performance Not Met: No respiratory arrest requiring intervention in the PACU. THPSO12-PNM RATIONALE: Respiratory arrests in the PACU result from a myriad of causes, including post-operative changes in the respiratory system coupled with underlying patient conditions and comorbities. Many respiratory arrests may be avoidable through early recognition and intervention by anesthesia providers. A high rate of respiratory arrest in the PACU may be due to inadequate monitoring of the extubated patient, or the use of non-standardized criteria for post-operative extubation Rock P. and Rich PB. Post-operative pulmonary complications. Curr Opin Anaesthesiol Apr;16(2): , TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 25

26 MEASURE NAME: THPSO Measure #13: Dental Injury Rate following airway management NQF NUMBER: Not applicable DESCRIPTION: Percentage of patients, independent of age, who develop dental injury from airway manipulation by the anesthesia provider in non-emergent operative cases. MEASURE TYPE: Outcome Inverse Measure NATIONAL QUALITY DOMAIN: Patient Safety RISK ADJUSTMENT: Risk adjustment is performed for this measure by excluding patients with emergent cases. Emergent operative cases have an inherently higher incidence of dental injuries during airway manipulation. INSTRUCTIONS: Measure Reporting via QCDR Registry: This measure is to be reported once per patient per anesthesia performed during the reporting year. It is anticipated that clinicians who perform anesthesia will submit this measure. Each case of general anesthetic are in the denominator. The listed numerator options are used to report the numerator for the measure. CPT codes, SNOMED-CT codes, other normalized taxonomies, patient demographics, and other discrete data from data collection forms and/or systems may be used to identify patients who are included in the measure s denominator and numerator. The listed denominator and numerator options (THPSO codes) are used to report denominator and numerator eligible instances for the measure to the QCDR. Submitting providers and/or data sources must provide a crosswalk to, and receive approval from, the QCDR demonstrating how they have mapped internal normalized data to the QCDR numerator and denominator criteria. Codes clearly identifying all denominator eligible cases, as well as Performance Met, Denominator Exclusions, Denominator Exceptions, and Performance Not Met must be submitted to the registry. The below listed specific codes are to be submitted to the registry. Alternatives may be used with prior approval, as long as the submitting provider provides the registry with data that clearly delineates the below categories. DENOMINAT: Patients, independent of age, who undergo general anesthesia. This includes all general anesthetic cases using endo-tracheal intubation, layrngeal mask airways, and other intra-oral airway tools. Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): 2015, TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 26

27 Each case of general anesthesia occurring during reporting period. THPSO13-DN NUMERAT: A change in the patient's preoperative dental status resulting from airway manipulation or instrumentation from endotracheal intubation, as well as the use of intra-oral airway devices such as laryngeal mask airways. Numerator Criteria: Performance Met: Change in preoperative dental status resulting from airway manipulation or instrumentation for endotracheal intubation or use of intra-oral airway devices. THPSO13-PM Denominator Exclusions: General anesthetics solely using mask airway devices, and emergency cases (i.e. ASA classification as emergency cases). THPSO13-DE Denominator Exceptions: A change in preoperative dental status, but not resulting from anesthesia airway manipulation (i.e. resulting from operative procedure) THPSO13-DX Performance Not Met: No change in preoperative dental status. THPSO13- PNM RATIONALE: Dental injuries result in common claims against anesthesiologists. This is a reflection of the fact that dental injuries are common complications of oro-tracheal intubation. Both patient and anesthesiology provider factors can be causative, including poor dentition, aggressive laryngoscopy, insufficient anesthesia, emergent procedures, inadequate paralysis, and inexperience Gaudio RM1, Feltracco P, Barbieri S, Tiano L, Alberti M, Delantone M, Ori C, Avato FM.Dent Traumatol. Traumatic dental injuries during anaesthesia: part I: clinical evaluation Dec;26(6): , TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 27

28 MEASURE NAME: THPSO Measure #14: Patient Experience: Post-anesthesia follow up NQF NUMBER: Not applicable DESCRIPTION: Percentage of patients, age 18 years and above, who undergo a standardized patient experience survey within 48 hours of completion of their anesthetic. MEASURE TYPE: Process NATIONAL QUALITY DOMAIN: Person and Caregiver-Centered Experience and Outcomes RISK ADJUSTMENT: Risk adjustment is not applicable for this measure. INSTRUCTIONS: Measure Reporting via QCDR Registry: This measure is to be reported once per patient per daily anesthesia episode performed during the reporting year. It is anticipated that clinicians who perform anesthesia will submit this measure. Each daily anesthesia episode for a patient who is 18 years of age or older is in the denominator. For a patient who has to anesthesia cases during a day (i.e. a surgery and anesthesia followed be recovery, and then a return to the operating room with another anesthesia in the same day will be considered a single daily anesthesia episode). The listed numerator options are used to report the numerator for the measure. CPT codes, SNOMED-CT codes, other normalized taxonomies, patient demographics, and other discrete data from data collection forms and/or systems may be used to identify patients who are included in the measure s denominator and numerator. The listed denominator and numerator options (THPSO codes) are used to report denominator and numerator eligible instances for the measure to the QCDR. Submitting providers and/or data sources must provide a crosswalk to, and receive approval from, the QCDR demonstrating how they have mapped internal normalized data to the QCDR numerator and denominator criteria. Codes clearly identifying all denominator eligible cases, as well as Performance Met, Denominator Exclusions, Denominator Exceptions, and Performance Not Met must be submitted to the registry. The below listed specific codes are to be submitted to the registry. Alternatives may be used with prior approval, as long as the submitting provider provides the registry with data that clearly delineates the below categories. DENOMINAT: Once per daily anesthesia episode for patients, age 18 years and above, who undergo anesthetic cases in the operating room. 2015, TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 28

29 Denominator Criteria (Eligible Cases): THPSO14-DN Patient encounter(s) for an anesthetic procedure in the operating room. AND Age: 18 years or above NUMERAT: Patients who undergo standardized survey regarding their patient experience within 48 hours of completion of their anesthetic. Survey questions must be specific to the anesthesia care experience and must include 1) presence of significant nausea/vomiting since anesthetic, 2) ability to tolerate their diet, 3) adequate post-operative discomfort control, 4) general satisfaction with the anesthesia experience, 5) pain at locations other than the surgical site, 6) presence of a significant sore throat, cough or hoarseness, and 7) the adequacy of post-operative discharge instructions. Numerator Criteria: Performance Met: Completion of a standardized post-anesthetic survey. THPSO14-PM Denominator Exclusions: Documentation of patient reason(s) or medical reason(s) for not completing survey (i.e. patients who are non-verbal, who are unable to be surveyed due to a medical or psychiatric reason, who are unable to be surveyed due to a language barrier, or who decline to be surveyed) THPSO14-DE Denominator Exceptions: Performance Not Met: Failure to complete a standardized post-anesthetic survey, reason not given. THPSO14-PM RATIONALE: Current survey methodology is frequently lacking in specificity with respect to the anesthesia experience. The development of data collection allowing for the analysis of patients perspectives of anesthesia care with the provisions of objective and meaningful comparisons that will allow for response and action are important to patients. Provision of a survey that addresses key anesthesia expectations by patients is necessary in order to improve patient outcomes. 2015, TeamHealth Patient Safety Organization, Inc. Page 29
