Accountability for quality Measures are specified for reporting and accountability by different entities; alignment encourages joint focus Measures in Medicaid Core Set States Plans Hospitals Providers Follow-Up After Hospitalization for Mental Illness X X X Use of First-Line Psychosocial Care for Children and Adolescents on Antipsychotics Use of Multiple Concurrent Antipsychotics in Children and Adolescents Child and Adolescent Major Depressive Disorder: Suicide Risk Assessment Other PQMP measures Pediatric Danger to Self/Suicidality: Discharge Communication to Outpatient Providers Adolescent Depression Remission/Response X X X X X X X X X
National Collaborative for Innovation in Quality Measurement (NCINQ) Goal is to improve health outcomes for children, adolescents, and their families through quality measurement Improving antipsychotic medication management in youth Improving depression care for adolescents and new mothers
Safe and Judicious Use of Antipsychotic Medications Measures reported using administrative claims data Use of Multiple Concurrent Antipsychotics in Children and Adolescents* Youth on two or more antipsychotic medications concurrently for an extended period of time (lower rate indicates better performance) Use of First-Line Psychosocial Care for Children and Adolescents on Antipsychotics* Youth without an indication for antipsychotics who had psychosocial care as first-line treatment Metabolic Monitoring for Children and Adolescents on Antipsychotics Youth with ongoing use of antipsychotic medications who had metabolic testing *2017 Medicaid Child Core Set
Safe & Judicious Use of Antipsychotic Measures, by Product Line 2016 Multiple Concurrent Antipsychotics (lower is better) Metabolic Monitoring Use of First-Line Psychosocial Care
2016 Metabolic Monitoring Rates by State Blue states have higher rates Rates are reported at the plan level. When a plan spans multiple states, the plan s rate is reported in each of those states.
Drivers of good antipsychotic management Clinician awareness Family awareness Coordination between MH and primary care providers and plans Information sharing through Health IT Access to laboratory services
Are hospital systems working with Medicaid programs and providers on managing access and care for antipsychotic medications?
Depression Care for Adolescents and Adults Measures reported using electronic clinical data Of individuals 12+ with diagnosis of major depression or dysthymia Utilization of PHQ-9 Proportion who had an outpatient encounter with a PHQ-9 score present in their record in the same assessment period as the encounter Of those who had an initial elevated PHQ-9 score (>9) Follow-Up Rate Proportion who had follow-up PHQ-9 administered at 5-7 months Response Rate Remission Rate Proportion whose score decreased at least 50% at 5-7 months Proportion who achieved remission (score <5) at 5-7 months Of individuals 12+ Screening and Follow Up Proportion who were screened and, if positive, had follow up within 30 days
Reporting using electronic clinical data Patient care captured in a structured, electronic format Maintained over time Includes some or all key clinical data relevant to care Bidirectional, automated sharing of information Accessible by the healthcare team at the point of care www.ncqa.org/ecds
Depression Measures for Adolescents: Results from Testing for Screening and Follow-Up/Utilization of PHQ 80.0% 70.0% Plan 1 plan 2 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% Screening and Follow-Up Utilization of PHQ-9
Depression Measures for Adolescents: Results from Testing for Remission/Response 90.0% 80.0% Plan 1 plan 2 70.0% 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% Remission (PHQ<5) Response (PHQ decreased 50%)
Are hospital systems collecting and sharing youth and family reported outcomes?
Learning collaborative Involves plans, youth, states, providers, and other stakeholders Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Prepare for QI analyze data, scan, lit review, develop change package Implement QI - share learnings through ongoing collaborative meetings Collect best practices, strategies and tools Refine Change Package and spread and Revise measures

Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP): An Update Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Kamila Mistry, PhD, MPH March 21, 2017
Agenda Overview of AHRQ o Within HHS o Mission/Priorities o Research Pathways/Funding Pediatric Measurement Efforts at AHRQ o Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) o Children s EHR Format o Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP)
US Department of Health & Human Services
AHRQ s Mission To produce evidence to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, and affordable, and to work within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and with other partners to make sure that the evidence is understood and used.
AHRQ s 4 Priorities Improve Health Care Quality Make Health Care Safer Increase Accessibility Improve Health Care Affordability, Efficiency, and Cost Transparency
Three Research Pathways Make, Commission, or Fund Research Make: Robust Intramural Data & Research Program o o Building databases (e.g. HCUP, MEPS) Conduct targeted research, generally with secondary data Commission: Contracted Research & Dissemination o o Develop specific research (LHS competencies) Put research findings into practice (e.g. development of tool kits) Fund: Research Grants o o Support independent institutions & researchers in performing complex, usable research Develop scientific knowledge and products as a public good
Funding Opportunities Largely focused on funding investigator initiated work under standing R grant mechanisms fit with our priorities Also have a number of PA -- reflecting priorities:
Pediatric Quality Measurement Initiatives @ AHRQ Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) Children s EHR Format Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP)
Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) PDIs are a set of measures that can be used with hospital inpatient discharge data to provide information on potentially preventable complications and hospitalizations among pediatric patients. o Use with readily available administrative data o Based on ICD-10-CM diagnosis and procedure codes o Risk-adjusted o Rigorous validity and reliability testing
Pediatric Quality Indicators (PDIs) (cont d.) * Endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF)
Children s EHR Format Children s EHR Format is a set of functional requirements for EHRs to support dialogue between stakeholders as they build, purchase, use, and implement EHRs in a variety of setting. o o Mandated by CHIPRA (2009) and developed through collaboration between AHRQ and CMS First released in 2013 and evaluated through CMS Quality Demonstration Grants in NC and PA Updated in 2015/16 o o The new Priority List describes a smaller, more highly specified list of requirements, including implementation notes Also includes a set of recommended uses Available as an interactive release on the U.S. Health Information Knowledgebase (USHIK): https://ushik.ahrq.gov/mdr/portals/cehrf?system=cehrf
Pediatric Quality Measures Program (PQMP) PQMP is an AHRQ/CMS partnership focused on developing and implementing pediatric quality measures in conjunction with states and the private sector partners with the overall goal of improving quality of care for children, particularly those in Medicaid/CHIP o Mandated by CHIPRA (2009) and developed through collaboration between AHRQ and CMS o Phase 1- increasing the portfolio of evidence- based measures o Phase 2- implementation of new measures and learning about their feasibility/usability
