Tips on Reporting Quality Measures that Involve Test Results and Prescriptions
If a quality measure calls for a clinical test result, then the most recent test result only needs to be obtained, assessed, and reported one time per reporting period. A test does not need to have been performed within the reporting period. This is relevant to reporting on Diabetes quality measures.
If a quality measure calls for prescribing a medication, the physician only needs to assess whether the medication is current. A new prescription is not required to meet the measure requirement unless it is clinically indicated. This is relevant to reporting on Coronary Artery Disease, Geriatric, and other quality measures.
