17Hospice: HIS-Based Quality Measures | January 2017

Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure – Comprehensive Assessment

at Admission

• This QM reports the percentage of hospice patients who received all seven HIS care processes for which they are eligible at admission to a hospice.

• The measure is calculated using data from existing HIS-Admission items.

• Patient admissions occurring on or after April 1, 2017, will be included in the measure calculation.

• No new data collection will be required for this measure.

18Hospice: HIS-Based Quality Measures | January 2017

Care Processes Captured by the Composite Measure

Section of the HIS Corresponding QMsF: Preferences • Treatment Preferences (NQF #1641).

• Beliefs/Values Addressed (if desired by patient) (NQF #1647).

J: Health Conditions • Pain Screening (NQF #1634).• Pain Assessment (NQF #1637).• Dyspnea Screening (NQF #1639).• Dyspnea Treatment (NQF #1638).

N: Medications • Patients Treated with an Opioid Who Are Given a Bowel Regimen (NQF #1617).

20Hospice: HIS-Based Quality Measures | January 2017

Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure – Comprehensive Assessment

at Admission

• This measure will provide consumers and providers with: o A single measure regarding the overall quality

and completeness of assessment of patient needs at hospice admission.

o A measure that can be used to meaningfully and easily compare quality across hospice providers.

o A measure that sets a higher standard of care for hospices.

23Hospice: HIS-Based Quality Measures | January 2017

Hospice and Palliative Care Composite Process Measure – Comprehensive Assessment

at Admission

Conditional Measures:• Some patients may not qualify for the conditional measures

NQF #1637 Pain Assessment, NQF #1638 Dyspnea Treatment, and NQF #1617 Bowel Regimen.o For example: If screening indicates no dyspnea (J2030), the

patient is ineligible for a dyspnea treatment (J2040).• These patients will be eligible for the numerator as if hospices

completed the care processes of the conditional measures.o That is, the hospice would be given “credit” for completing the

comprehensive respiratory assessment.

108Hospice: HIS-Based Quality Measures | January 2017

Calculation of the Composite Process Measure

• The calculation includes patient stays that meet the numerator criteria for all of the individual component quality measures for which they are eligible: 1. The patient/responsible party was asked

about treatment preferences.2. The patient and/or caregiver was asked

about spiritual/existential concerns.
