1 Uniform Data System Calendar Year 2014 Bureau of Primary Health Care Agenda Brief introduction to UDS 2014 changes 2015 proposed changes Definitions used in the UDS report Step by step instructions for completing UDS tables Available assistance and strategies for successful reporting 2 1

2 UDS: The Who, What, When, Why, and How 3 UDS: The Who Who: 330 funded grantees under the CHC, HCH, MHC or PHPC programs Look alikes designated by BPHC BHW primary care clinics Urban Indian Health Centers (reported under separate system) Native Hawaiian Health Centers (not through EHB) Who were funded or designated prior to October

3 UDS: The What What: Scope of Project which includes (and is limited to) the staff, services, patients, income, expenses, etc. that are spelled out in funding or designation applications Does not include sites or services which are not approved by BPHC For the period January 1, 2014 December 31, 2014 Calendar year reporting, not based on grant year or fiscal year 5 UDS: The When When: January 1, 2015: the UDS opens in your Electronic Handbook and you can begin to enter data. by February 15, 2015: All data tables must be completed and the report must be officially submitted by CEO or their assigned delegate. March 1 March 31 (approximately): Revisions are made to correct errors or explain apparent issues. (work with reviewer.) March 31, 2015: Report must be finalized at close of business. 6 3

4 UDS: The Why Why: The UDS is used: To inform HHS, OMB and the Executive Branch of the accomplishments of the program To inform Congress and the legislators who are responsible for funding the program To provide information to HRSA in evaluating the operation of individual health centers and, occasionally, to alter funding levels To inform the public of the operations of federally supported health centers To provide data to scholars studying health care delivery in general and services to poor in particular 7 UDS: The How How: On line through Electronic Handbook (EHB) By authorized staff at each health center More than one person can work on the UDS at the same time as long as they are in different tables. By the CEO or designee certifying by submission that they have reviewed and approved the data being submitted 8 4

8 Who Counts: Patient Defined An individual who has one or more visits reported on Table 5 during the calendar year is considered a patient. Medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, other professional and selected enabling services Whenever patients are counted, it must be an unduplicated count. Each patient is counted once and only once regardless of the number or scope of visits. But they may be counted in each category of patient that they fall in E.g., could be 1 medical patient and 1 dental patient 15 ZIP CODE TABLE: Patients by ZIP Code and Insurance 16 8

9 Patients by ZIP Code Report all ZIP codes with 11 or more patients Combine the rest as other zip codes Patients in each ZIP code are reported by their primary medical insurance This is the third party MEDICAL insurance that would be billed first if the patient had a medical visit Must be reported for ALL patients including those patients who are not being seen for medical services There is no unknown insurance category Totals must tie to total patients on Table 3A and insured patients on Table 4 17 Patients by ZIP Code Continued Additional instructions for Special Populations Homeless: Use ZIP code of location where patient receives services if no better data exist. Agricultural: Use ZIP code of the temporary housing they occupy when patient is in the area. 18 9

10 TABLES 3A AND 3B: Patient Demographics 19 Table 3A: Patients by Age & Gender Report total patients by age and gender Age is calculated as of June 30 Count each patient once and only once Total on line 39 is used for unduplicated patient count totals from ZIP Code, table 3B, income of table 4, and insurance of table 4 must equal this number 20 10

11 Table 3B: Patients by Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity/Race/Language Use Column B if patient does not indicate Latino or Hispanic. Use Line 6 only if patient chooses two or more listed races. More than one shouldn t be a choice don t report Latino + a race as more than one race Use unreported, Line 7 if no race was specified. Total must equal Table 3A. 21 Table 3B: Patients by Language Report all patients who would best be served in a language other than English including: Bilingual persons not fluent in medical English Persons who are served by a bilingual provider Persons who receive interpretation services Persons using sign language Persons in Puerto Rico or the Pacific where a language other than English is used This is the only UDS cell that may be estimated

15 Table 4: Target Populations Lines All health centers must report total number of targeted patients (if any) on Lines 16, 23, 24, 25, and 26 even if they do not have targeted funding 330(g) MHC Grantees provide separate totals for migratory and for seasonal agricultural workers on Lines 14 and 15 others report total Line (h) HCH Grantees report patient s shelter arrangement as of first visit in 2014 (where they were housed the prior night) others report total Line 23 Patients seen at school based clinic locations are reported on Line 24 Veteran is an individual who completed service in the Uniformed Services of the US 2014 Change: Report the total number of patients who live in public housing on Line Table 4: Agricultural Workers Defined Lines An agricultural worker is an individual whose PRINCIPAL employment is in agriculture on a SEASONAL BASIS, who has been so employed within the last 24 months, and/or their dependents. Line 14: Migratory Workers who establish temporary home(s) for such employment. Line 15: Seasonal Workers who do not live away from home. For both categories of workers, the term agriculture means farming in all its branches as defined by the OMB developed NAICS, and includes seasonal workers included in the following codes and all sub codes within: 111, 112, 1151, and Health centers who do not have 330(g) funds report Line 16 Total only Agriculture means farming, including: Cultivation and tillage of the soil The production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any commodity grown on, or in the land, or as an adjunct to or part of a commodity grown on or in the land; and Any practice (including preparation and processing for market and delivery to storage or to market or to carrier for transportation to market) performed by a farmer or on a farm incident to or in conjunction with the above Fisheries 30 15

Excludes housing supported only by Section 8 scattered site vouchers Use of patient address is acceptable to identify the population. 33 TABLES 5 AND 5A: Staffing, Tenure, and Utilization 34 17

18 Table 5: Staffing & Utilization Column A Staff fulltime equivalents (FTEs) reported by position Column B Clinic visits reported by provider type Column C Patients reported by service type 35 Table 5, Column A: Categories of Staff Report all staff providing in scope services Include employees, contracted staff, residents, and volunteers Do not include paid referral provider FTEs Report based on work performed, not job title A single person can be allocated across multiple categories E.g., MA works as lab tech one day a week: 80% MA, 20% lab tech Medical director s corporate time (only) can be allocated to non clinical; do not allocate administrative time of other providers Other Professional, Line 22, includes chiropractic, acupuncture, PT, OT, nutrition, podiatry, etc. Other Related, Line 29a, includes non health care program staff (e.g., WIC, childcare, housing, fitness, job training, etc.) See Appendix A in Reporting Manual for staffing categories 36 18

19 Calculating FTEs for Staff FTE is actual for the year, not as of last day 1.0 FTE is the equivalent of one person working full time (as defined by health center) for one year Providers: Based on employment contracts Based on hours paid including vacation, sick, continuing education, admin time etc. FTEs = Yearly paid hours divided by total hours for position: E.g., 40 hour week = 2080 yearly hours; 35 hour week = 1820 Calculate FTE for persons working part time or part year (E.g., 6 months full time = 0.50 FTE, 9 months half time = FTE ) 37 Calculating FTEs for Hourly Work Who: Volunteers, locums, residents, on call providers, etc. who do not receive paid time off (PTO) benefits How: 1. Calculate the number of leave hours and subtract from fulltime hours for the comparable position E.g., Staff provider receives 160 hours vacation, 96 hours sick, 40 hours continuing education, 80 hours holidays, 1704 hours worked 2. Calculate number of hours person being evaluated actually works E.g., Volunteer provider worked 30 8 hours = 240 hours 3. Calculate and report FTE E.g., hours worked (240) divided by position FTE work hours (1704) =.14 FTE (240/1704 = ) 38 19

20 Table 5, Column B: Visit Defined A visit is: Face to face, one to one interaction between a patient and a provider Exception: Group visits and telemedicine is permitted for mental health and substance abuse visits No group health education or group medical visits. Medical, dental, vision, and some mental health staff must be licensed Other disciplines must be credentialed by the health center The service must be charted The provider must be acting independently The provider must be using professional judgment unique to their training and education 39 Visit Defined Continued Only one visit per patient per provider type per day Exception: two different providers at two different sites Only one visit per provider per patient per day regardless of the number of services provided DO COUNT paid referral visits when following current patients in a nursing home, hospital, or at home DO NOT COUNT immunization only, lab only, dental fluoride, mass screenings, health fairs, outreach or pharmacy visits Count visits provided by both paid and volunteer staff 40 20

21 Table 5, Column C: Patients by Service Category Defined Total number of patients of that type of service seen during the year A patient may be counted only once in each category regardless of the number of visits Patients provided with multiple types of service must be counted in each category e.g. A patient may counted as both a medical and a dental patient. 41 Table 5A: Tenure for Selected Health Center Staff Defined Reports only on providers and key management staff Starting point will be last year s work sheet Delete staff who have left and add new staff Include persons working on last day of the year and those who have the day off, but are scheduled to return Head count as of December 31 in consecutive months in current position (months will be over 12 if the person has had the position for more than one year) Do not count paid referral providers or individuals who may work many days but do not have a regular schedule Data reported: are generally available in Personnel or Human Resource (HR) employment records may be measured in a form differently than the way seniority information is stated Should be available January 1 Table can be done well in advance of the submission date 42 21

22 Table 5A: Tenure Report all individuals who work at the health center Full time, part time, partyear, contract, NHSC Locums, volunteers, on call, residents Report combined tenure In months (not FTE) As of last work day of year By job title Same categories / lines as T5 NOTE: It is almost impossible to have Column B = Column A and impossible for B<A or D<C. 43 Who to include in Census Include o Clinical staff: Physicians NP, PA, CNM providers Nurses Dental providers Mental Health providers Vision providers o Key non clinical staff: CEO / Executive Director CFO / Fiscal Officer CIO / IT Director CMO / Medical Director Those who worked in scope on December 31st Or who worked before then and were scheduled to return to work in the new year 44 22

23 Tenure for Full and Part Time Staff Column A Regular employees and persons on regular contracts who are employed at the time of the census are each counted as 1 in Column A. Regardless of when they first started working Those who are not working that day but who are scheduled to work before and after that day are counted as 1 Those with two jobs (e.g., OB/GYN + CMO) are counted as 1 in each category Those who are no longer employed on that day are not counted on this table 45 Tenure for Other Service Provider Arrangements Column C Volunteers, locums, on call providers, residents, etc. who worked before and are scheduled to work after 12/31 are each counted as 1 in Column C. Regardless of how much time they work if they are considered to be a part of the regular staff they are counted. Some examples include: Specialists who are usually present at least once each month or quarter Primary care providers present during a specific season 46 23

24 Tenure Months Columns B and D Months are calculated from the date the person was most recently hired into that position. Continuous months from the start date through December of the reporting year Rounded up to the closest whole number E.g., Pediatrician hired 8/1/03, promoted to CMO on 9/15/11, and serves in both roles Count 137 months as pediatrician and 40 months as CMO E.g., COO is hired 11/10/89, promoted to Deputy Director 7/12/98 and then promoted to CEO 6/22/14, retaining the obligations of the Deputy Director Count 7 months as CEO only E.g., CEO hired 5/15/11 to fill the role of CIO, CFO, and CEO Count 44 months as CEO, 44 months as CFO, 44 as CIO 47 TABLES 6A, 6B, AND 7: Diagnoses and Services Provided; Quality of Care Indicators 48 24

25 Clinical Profile Tables Clinical care Table 6A: Selected diagnoses and services Also completed by look alikes effective CY 2014 Also completed for each additional non CHC funding stream Table 6B: Quality of care indicators Table 7: Health outcomes and disparities EHR Capabilities and Quality Recognition Series of questions on health information technology (HIT) capabilities, including EHR interoperability, and incentives for the Meaningful Use of certified EHR technology. Includes the implementation of EHR, certification of systems, how widely adopted the system is throughout the health center and its providers, and national and/or state quality recognition (accreditation or PCMH) Not a numbered table at end of the EHB entry 49 TABLE 6A: Diagnoses and Services 50 25

26 Table 6A: Diagnoses and Services Lines 1 20d: Selected diagnoses Report all diagnoses, not just primary diagnosis New Line: 1 2a Newly diagnosed HIV Lines 21 34: Selected services Uses ICD 9, CPT, or ADA codes 51 Diagnoses: Column A, lines 1 20d Reports on the number of visits which reported the selected diagnosis Each row has a name (e.g. diabetes), but is defined by one or more ICD 9 codes as listed on the table and in the reporting manual Some codes are intentionally excluded, such as the code for gestational diabetes Each visit with the unique diagnosis identified is counted If patients have more than one reportable diagnoses during a visit, each is counted E.g., hypertension and diabetes and obesity 52 26

27 Services: Column A, lines Reports on the number of visits which reported one or more of the selected services Each row has a name (e.g., childhood immunizations) but is defined by one or more CPT (or ICD 9) codes or in the case of dental services ADA codes Some codes are intentionally excluded, such as the codes for some surgically related procedures Each visit with the service provided is counted If patients have more than one reportable service during a visit, each is counted E.g., Pap test and contraceptive services But not multiple services in the same category at one visit E.g., an DPT and an MMR at the same visit 53 Patients by Diagnosis and Service: Column B Report the unduplicated number of patients who had a specific diagnosis or received one or more of the selected services Count a patient once and only once on each line where a visit was counted. e.g., a patient who is seen five times for hypertension will be counted as one patient in column B A patient may have a diagnosis and a service on the same day e.g., a patient seen for their diabetes and provided with a flu shot would both be counted on this table

28 Table 6A: New Line 1 2a Newly Diagnosed with HIV Persons first diagnosed with HIV during the twelve months from 10/1/13 through 9/30/14 Count only individuals who had never been diagnosed in any setting prior to a visit with your provider Do not count: Persons who had been previously diagnosed but who were being seen for the first time at your health center Were diagnosed elsewhere and referred to you for treatment Had a (positive) reactive initial screening test, but not a positive supplemental test (unless you also referred them for the supplemental test and intend to provide treatment) ICD codes will not identify initial HIV diagnosis this will need to be identified from alternate EHR or other systems 55 TABLE 6B: Quality of Care Indicators 56 28

29 Process Measures Process measures : If patients receive timely routine and preventive care, then we can expect improved health Access to prenatal care (first prenatal visit in 1 st trimester) Childhood immunizations Cervical cancer screening Child and adolescent weight screening & counseling Adult weight screening & follow up Tobacco use assessment and cessation intervention Asthma drug therapy Cholesterol treatment (lipid therapy for coronary artery disease patients) Heart attack/stroke treatment (aspirin therapy for ischemic vascular disease patients) Colorectal cancer screening Depression screening and follow up HIV linkage to care 57 Section A, lines 1 6: Prenatal Patients by Age Changes for 2014 Report all patients, who received prenatal care and all patients who test positive for pregnancy and were referred for obstetrical care during the year, by age category. Report all women served regardless of whether they delivered, including women whose only service in 2014 was their delivery Include women who were referred for prenatal care, transferred, or were risked out Do not include patients who may have had tests, vitamins, assessments or education, but did not have their initial clinical visit with the clinic s obstetrical provider or the referral provider Do not include women who went to another provider on their own or who left without a referral 58 29

30 Section B, lines 7 9: Access to Prenatal Care Trimester of entry into prenatal care For all patients reported in Section A, indicate what trimester they began care and whether it was with the health center or another provider Entry into prenatal care occurs when the patient has had a visit with a physician or non physician provider at the health center or with a referral provider who initiates prenatal care with a complete physical exam (i.e., not a pregnancy test, nurse assessment, etc.) 59 Section C, line 10: Childhood Immunizations Column A: Universe All children who turned 2 years and 364 days in 2014 (born on 1/1/11 12/31/11) AND who had at least one medical visit in 2014 AND were first ever seen prior to their 3rd birthday This is the catch up schedule. Technically asks about children who were immunized before they turned 3. CDC / AAP still recommends immunization by age 2 No exclusions 60 30

31 Childhood Immunizations Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients Column C: Meeting measurement standard: Number of children in Column B who, by their 3rd birthday are fully compliant for each disease listed on the next slide. A child is fully complaint if they had (1) received vaccine, or (2) shown evidence of the disease or (3) shown a contraindication for vaccine. 61 Required Vaccines Fully compliant means meeting measurement standard for each of 11 diseases normally vaccinated against with: 4 DTP/DTaP, 3 IPV, 1 MMR, 3Hib, 3 Hepatitis B, 1 VZV (Varicella), 4 Pneumococcal conjugate HepA, rotavirus and influenza were removed from reporting in 2013, but CDC / AAP still recommends these vaccines 62 31

32 Assessing Child Immunization Measurement Standard Notes in the medical record indicating that the patient received the immunization at delivery or in the hospital may be counted as evidence of meeting the measurement standard. A note that patient is up to date with immunizations that does not list the date of each immunization and the name of the provider does not constitute sufficient evidence of meeting the measurement standard. Good faith efforts to get a child immunized which nonetheless fail do not meet the performance measurement including: Parental failure to bring in the patient Parents who refuse for personal or religious reasons Parents who refuse because of beliefs about vaccines 63 Section D, line 11: Cervical Cancer Screening Column A: Universe All women aged (born 1/1/50 12/31/90) AND with at least one medical visit in a health center clinic during the reporting year AND who were first seen before age 65 excluding women with hysterectomy 64 32

33 Cervical Cancer Screening Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients Column C: Meeting the measurement standard: Number of patients in Column B who: received one or more Pap tests in a three year period from 2012 through 2014 or received one or more Pap tests in a five year period from 2010 through 2014 and was 30 years of age or older at the time of her last Pap test and chose to have a Pap test and an HPV test done simultaneously. 65 Assessing Cervical Cancer Measurement Standard Medical records must include a copy of the test result (your lab or another lab) or include an evidence based entry which includes the provider, test date and result, which is not based on patient self report A note that patient was referred or patient reported receiving pap test does not meet the performance standard. Good faith efforts to get the patient tested do not meet the measurement standard. Performance measurement is not met even if she: refused to have test failed to return for a scheduled test claims to have had one but cannot document it 66 33

34 Section E, line 12:Child & Adolescent Weight Assessment & Counseling Column A: Universe All children and adolescents From aged 3 through 17 on December 31st (born 1/1/97 12/31/11) AND with at least one medical visit in a health center clinic during the reporting year AND were first seen before age 17 excluding pregnant adolescents 67 Child and Adolescent Weight Screening Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients Column C: Meeting the Measurement Standard: Number of patients in Column B who had their BMI percentile recorded during 2014 AND had documented counseling on nutrition (not just diet) AND had documented counseling on activity (not just exercise)

35 Assessing Child & Adolescent Weight Screening Measurement Standard Just recording that a well child visit was done does not meet the requirement All three criteria: BMI percentile, counseling on nutrition, and counseling on physical activity must be documented 69 Section F, line 13: Adult Weight Screening and Follow Up Column A: Universe All adults: aged 18 and older on December 31st (born on or before 12/31/1996) AND with at least one medical visit in a health center clinic during the reporting year AND last seen after they turned 18 Excluding pregnant women and terminally ill patients Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients 70 35

36 Adult Weight Screening and Follow Up Column C: Meeting the Measurement Standard: Number of patients in Column B who had their BMI recorded at their last visit or within 6 months of that visit AND had a follow up plan documented if they were under age 65 and BMI was < 18.5 OR 25 or age 65 or older and BMI was < 23 OR Assessing Adult Weight Measurement Standard Just recording height and weight is not adequate BMI must be visible in chart or on template Include in Column C as meeting the measurement standard, adults: with BMI in normal range with BMI outside the normal range who have documented a followup plan 72 36

37 Section G, line 14a:Tobacco Use Screening & Cessation Intervention: 2014 Change Column A: Universe All adults aged 18 and older on December 31 st (born on or before 12/31/1996) AND who have been seen at least twice (ever) in the practice for medical care AND with at least one medical visit in a health center clinic during the reporting year AND last seen after they turned 18 No exclusions 73 Tobacco Use Screening and Cessation Intervention Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients Column C: Meeting the Measurement Standard: Number of patients in Column B who were queried about their tobacco use one or more times by any provider (e.g. dental, vision) during their last visit or within 24 months of their last visit AND If found to be a tobacco user: Received tobacco cessation services or Received an order for a smoking cessation medication (prescription or OTC) or Were found to be on (using) a smoking cessation agent 74 37

38 Assessing Tobacco Use Screening & Cessation Measurement Standard Note that universe will not be the same as adult weight universe because of the two visit criteria All adults meeting the criteria are included in the universe, not just tobacco users. Include in Column C as meeting the measurement standard, adults who were: screened and found not to be tobacco users tobacco users with intervention charted 75 Section H, line 16: Asthma Treatment Column A: Universe Patients aged 5 through 40: Initially diagnosed with persistent asthma AND born between 1/1/74 and 12/31/09 AND last seen while between ages 5 through 40 AND seen at least twice (ever) in the practice AND had at least one medical visit in a health center clinic during the reporting year excluding patients with allergic reaction to asthma medications and those diagnosed with intermittent asthma 76 38

39 Asthma Treatment Column B: Universe or sample of 70 patients Column C: Meeting the Measurement Standard: Patients reported in Column B who received or had a prescription for inhaled corticosteroids or received or had a prescription for an approved alternative medication or were on medication 77 Assessing Asthma Treatment Measurement Standard The diagnosis of asthma (ICD x) is not sufficient to define the universe. Only those with persistent asthma are to be included. CPT Category II codes or EHR template choices can be used to code severity; no ICD 9 codes do so. Appendix C in the Reporting Manual describes sampling techniques that can be used to identify persistent asthmatics if no other codes are available
