| Guidance |
There are two ways that a patient can be excluded from the measure: 1. The patient has a specific number of "combination" risk factors (the number of risk factors varies by age). 2. The patient has one or more of the "independent" risk factors, including a 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture of 8.4 percent or higher as determined by the FRAX. This eCQM is a patient-based measure. This version of the eCQM uses QDM version 5.5. Please refer to the eCQI resource center for more information on the QDM. |
