1 Quality Provisions in the EPM Proposed Rule Matt Baker Scott Wetzel

2 Overview Quality Scoring Overview Quality Metrics in AMI and CABG EPMs Quality Metrics in SHFFT EPMs COTH Performance in these programs

3 Quality Scoring Overview

4 Overview EPMs Quality Three separate EPM quality models o AMI, CABG, and Surgical hip/femur fracture treatment (SHFFT) Quality performance National Percentile o o o 30 th percentile minimum performance to receive points for each quality measure Points are awarded based on percentile Length of reporting period: AMI and CABG mortality, AMI excess days, and hip/knee complications 3 years HCAHPS 1 year Voluntary measures varies by performance year Performance + Improvement + Voluntary Points = Quality Composite Score

5 Improvement Scoring Measure by measure basis Points awarded up to 10% of max performance points AMI/CABG Defined as improvement over participant s own point estimate from previous year SHFFT/CJR Defined as year over year improvement of two or more deciles

6 Quality Metrics in AMI and CABG EPMs

7 AMI Quality Measure Composite Scoring Measure Weight Max Available Points Hospital AMI 30-day Mortality 50% 10 Excess Days in Acute Care After Hospitalization (EDAC) 20% 4 Voluntary Hybrid AMI Mortality 10% 2 if submitted successfully HCAHPS 20% 4

8 CABG Quality Measure Composite Scoring Measure Weight Max Available Points Hospital CABG 30-day Mortality 75% 15 HCAHPS 25% 5

9 AMI and CABG Mortality Calculated separately for AMI and CABG Calculates all deaths regardless of cause within a 30-day period from the date of the index admissions NQF endorsed Measure reported on hospital compare

10 Excess Days in Acute Care After Hospitalization for AMI (EDAC) Actual acute days post discharge compared to expected based on degree of illness Response to increase in ED utilization and Observation Stays Not NQF Endorsed* Not Reported on Hospital Compare *Measure has been submitted for NQF review

11 HCAHPS Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey Includes 10 questions about the hospital experience* Patients surveyed between 48 hours and 6 weeks after discharge Patients included: All adult inpatients Not limited to Medicare beneficiaries includes patients admitted in the medical, surgical and maternity care service lines. *pain management measure not included

12 New Voluntary AMI Measure Hybrid measure combines standard claims based 30- day mortality with clinical data from EHR Submit five core data elements and six linking variables Age, heart rate, systolic BP, troponin, creatinine CCN, HIC#, DOB, sex, admission and discharge dates Heart rate and BP within 2 hours of admission; troponin within 24 hours Additional two points for successful submission

13 Proposed AMI Quality Decile-Based Points Scale Percentile AMI Mortality AMI EDAC HCAHPS 90-99th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile th Percentile Not Enough Data to Report Reporting the voluntary AMI Hybrid Measure adds an additional 2 points. For each measure, 10% of hospitals will receive bonus points for improvement: 1 bonus point in AMI Mortality 0.4 bonus points in AMI EDAC 0.4 bonus points in HCAHPS The bonus points will be based on being in the best 10% of hospitals in the improvement, defined as one s own measure s point estimate relative to the hospital s score in the previous year.
