NQF Number | Not Applicable |
Measure Description |
Percentage of patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes who had hemoglobin A1c > 9.0% during the measurement period |
Initial Population | Patients 18-75 years of age with diabetes with a visit during the measurement period |
Denominator Statement |
Equals Initial Population |
Denominator Exclusions |
Exclude patients whose hospice care overlaps the measurement period. Exclude patients 66 and older who are living long term in an institution for more than 90 days during the measurement period. Exclude patients 66 and older with advanced illness and frailty because it is unlikely that patients will benefit from the services being measured. |
Numerator Statement |
Patients whose most recent HbA1c level (performed during the measurement period) is >9.0% |
Numerator Exclusions |
Not Applicable |
Denominator Exceptions |
None |
Measure Steward | National Committee for Quality Assurance |
Domain | Effective Clinical Care |
Measure Scoring | Proportion measure |

Improvement Notation |
Lower score indicates better quality |
Guidance |
Patient is numerator compliant if most recent HbA1c level >9%, the most recent HbA1c result is missing, or if there are no HbA1c tests performed and results documented during the measurement period. If the HbA1c test result is in the medical record, the test can be used to determine numerator compliance. Only patients with a diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes should be included in the denominator of this measure; patients with a diagnosis of secondary diabetes due to another condition should not be included. |
