Measure Steward PCPI(R) Foundation (PCPI[R]) Domain Community/Population Health Previous Version CMS147v7 Next Version CMS147v9 Measure Scoring Proportion Measure Type Process Improvement Notation Higher score indicates better quality Guidance The timeframe for the visit during the "Encounter, Performed": "Encounter-Influenza" or "Procedure, Performed": "Peritoneal Dialysis" or "Procedure, Performed": "Hemodialysis" in the Population Criteria-Denominator, refers to the influenza season defined by the measure: October through March (October 1 for the year prior to the start of the reporting period through March 31 during the reporting period). The "Encounter-Influenza" Grouping OID detailed in the data criteria section below is comprised of several individual OIDs of different encounter types. The individual OIDs are included in the value set and should be reviewed to determine that an applicable visit occurred during the timeframe for "Encounter, Performed": "Encounter-Influenza" as specified in the denominator. To enable reporting of this measure at the close of the reporting period, this measure will only assess the influenza season that ends in March of the reporting period. The subsequent influenza season (ending March of the following year) will be measured and reported in the following year.To account for the majority of reporting years' appropriate flu season duration, the measure logic will look at the first 89 days of the measurement period for the appropriate criteria and actions to be present/performed (January 1 through March 31). The measure developer believes it is best to keep the logic as static as possible from one reporting year to the next. Therefore, during leap years, only encounters that occur through March 30 will be counted in the denominator.As a result of updated CDC/ACIP guidelines which include the interim recommendation that live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) should not be used due to low effectiveness against influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 in the United States during the 2013-14 and 2015-16 seasons, the measure specifications have been updated and no longer include LAIV or intranasal flu vaccine as an option for numerator eligibility.

Timing attributes now include a time interval, such as prevalence period or relevant period, and/or actual time of documentation with Author Datetime. Relevant period is the general method to describe start and stop times for datatypes. Prevalence period is used for some datatypes to more accurately define onset and abatement times.Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Standards UpdateAssigned cardinality to each attribute to be more explicit in guiding specification and implementation of QDM data elements. Cardinality refers to the number of instances of the attribute that can be included in the measure description. Cardinality for most attributes is 0.. 1 (i.e., can occur up to 1 time), but some attributes have a cardinality of 0.. * (i.e., can occur multiple times).Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Standards UpdateCQL libraries contain sets of CQL definitions, or CQL expression statements. A context statement, patient or population, can now be used in a CQL library to clearly establish how the subsequent list of CQL expressions will be interpreted. A 'Population' context will interpret the CQL expression with reference to the entire population of the item being counted, patients or encounters. A 'Patient' context will interpret the CQL expression with reference to a single patient. Context statements are not required, but one or more context statements may be used within a library to help clarify how the CQL expressions will be interpreted. Patient context is the default if none is specified.Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Standards UpdateRemoved the 'Face-To-Face Interaction' data element and added relevant SNOMED codes to the Encounter Grouping value sets to better align between the SNOMED and CPT encounter codes.Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Measure LeadReplaced measure-defined definitions with similar definitions and functions from CQL shared libraries for consistency across measures.Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Standards UpdateUpdated measure logic from Quality Data Model (QDM)-based logic to Clinical Quality Language (CQL)-based logic. Information on CQL can be found at the eCQI Resource center (https://ecqi.healthit.gov/cql). Information about specific versions of the new standards in use for CMS reporting periods can be found at the eCQI Resource Center (https://ecqi.healthit.gov/ecqm-tools-key-resources). Switching from QDM to CQL brings with it many changes, as well as enhanced expression capability, but only those changes with significant impact will be outlined in technical release notes. For example, in the case of timing operators, changes may only be summarized if those changes impact the measure calculation.Measure Section: Multiple SectionsSource of Change: Standards UpdateValue SetThe VSAC is the source of truth for the value set content, please visit the VSAC for downloads of current value sets.Value set Patient Reason (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1008): Deleted 1 SNOMEDCT code (385648002).Measure Section: QDM Data ElementsSource of Change: Annual UpdateValue set Encounter-Influenza (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.1252): Removed SNOMED extensional Face-to-Face Interaction (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.101.11.1216).
