Example: The improvement addition to the numerator will make this measure an
Outcome measure and therefore cannot be compared to the measure from last
year.
Provide the measure title, which should begin with a clinical condition of focus,
followed by a brief description of action.
Example: Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Depression and Follow-Up
Plan.
Describe the measure in full detail.
Example: Percentage of patients aged 12 years and older screened for depression
on the date of the encounter using an age appropriate standardized depression
screening tool AND if positive, a follow-up plan is documented on the date of the
positive screen.
Describe the eligible patient population to be counted to meet the measures'
inclusion requirements.
Example: All patients aged 12 years and older at the beginning of the
measurement period with at least one eligible encounter during the measurement
period.
The clinical action that meets the requirements of the measure.
Example: Patients screened for depression on the date of the encounter using an
age appropriate standardized tool AND, if positive, a follow-up plan is documented
on the date of the positive screen.
An exclusion is anything that would remove the patient, procedure, or unit of
measurement from the denominator. Enter “N/A” if not applicable.
Example: Women who had a bilateral mastectomy or who have a history of a
bilateral mastectomy or for whom there is evidence of a right and a left unilateral
mastectomy.

R

Denominator Exceptions

Required

Allow for the exercise of clinical judgement. Applied after the numerator calculation
and only if the numerator conditions are not met. Enter “N/A” if not applicable.
Example:
Medical Reason(s): Patient is in an urgent or emergent situation where time is of the
essence and to delay treatment would jeopardize the patient’s health status.
OR
Situations where the patient’s functional capacity or motivation to improve may
impact the accuracy of results of standardized depression assessment tools. For
example: certain court appointed cases or cases of delirium.

S

Numerator Exclusions

Required

An exclusion is anything that would remove the patient, procedure, or unit of
measurement from the numerator, typically used in ratio or inverse proportional
measures. Applied before the numerator calculation. Enter “N/A” if not applicable.
Example: If the number of central line blood stream infections per 1,000 catheter
days were to exclude infections with a specific bacterium, that bacterium would be
listed as a numerator exclusion.

Provide a rationale for the selected Meaningful Measure Area for the QCDR
measure.
Example: This measure identifies patients with depression and an appropriate
follow-up treatment plan.
Indicate if the measure is an inverse measure. This is a measure where a lower
calculated performance rate for this type of measure would indicate better clinical
care or control. The “Performance Not Met” numerator option for an inverse measure
is the representation of the better clinical quality or control. Submitting that
numerator option will produce a performance rate that trends closer to 0%, as
quality increases.

Proportional Measure

Continuous Variable Measure

Required/Optional?
Instructions/Notes
Indicate if the measure is a proportional measure. This is a measure where the
Required
score is derived by dividing the number of cases that meet a criterion for quality (the
numerator) by the number of eligible cases within a given time frame (the
denominator). The numerator cases are a subset of the denominator cases (e.g.,
percentage of eligible women with a mammogram performed in the last year).
Required

Indicate if the measure is a continuous variable measure. This is a measure where a
measure score in which each individual value for the measure can fall anywhere
along a continuous scale and can be aggregated using a variety of methods such as
the calculation of a mean or median (e.g., mean time to thrombolytics, which
aggregates the time in minutes from a case presenting with chest pain to the time of
administration of thrombolytics).
CMS encourages QCDRs to construct the numerators to be proportional by
establishing an expected benchmark based on guidelines or national performance
data. Applying MIPS scoring methodology has proven to be challenging for nonproportional measures because variability in the data points makes decile creation
based on a mathematical analysis very unpredictable.

AI

Ratio Measure

Required

Indicate if the measure is a ratio measure. This is a measure where a score that may
have a value of zero or greater that is derived by dividing a count of one type of data
by a count of another type of data. The key to the definition of a ratio is that the
numerator is not in the denominator (e.g., the number of patients with central lines
who develop infection divided by the number of central line days). Rates closer to 1
represent the expected outcome.

AJ

If Continuous Variable and/or
Ratio is chosen, what is the range
of the score(s)?

Optional

Please provide a defined range of performance. If it is not a continuous variable
and/or ratio measure, enter "N/A".
Example: 0-250 minutes

AK

Number of performance rates to
be calculated and submitted

Required

Indicate the number of performance rates submitted for the measure. If only one is
calculated, enter '1'.

AL

Performance Rate Description(s)

Optional

Provide a brief description for each performance rate to be calculated and
submitted.
Example: This measure will be calculated with 7 performance rates:
1) Overall Percentage for patients (aged 5-50 years) with well-controlled asthma,
without elevated risk of exacerbation
2) Percentage of pediatric patients (aged 5-17 years) with well-controlled asthma,
without elevated risk of exacerbation
3) Percentage of adult patients (aged 18-50 years) with well-controlled asthma,
without elevated risk of exacerbation
4) Asthma well-controlled (submit the most recent specified asthma control tool
result) for patients 5 to 17 with Asthma
5) Asthma well-controlled (submit the most recent specified asthma control tool
result) for patients 18 to 50 with Asthma
6) Patient not at elevated risk of exacerbation for patients 5 to 17 with Asthma
7) Patient not at elevated risk of exacerbation for patients 18 to 50 with Asthma

AM

Indicate an Overall Performance
Rate

Required

Specify which of the submitted rates will represent an overall performance rate for
the measure or how an overall performance rate could be calculated based on the
data submitted (for example, simple average of the performance rates submitted) or
weighted average (sum of the numerators divided by the sum of the denominators),
etc. If only 1 performance rate is being submitted, enter 1st performance
rate.

AN

Risk-Adjusted Status?
If risk-adjusted, indicate which
score is risk-adjusted
Is the QCDR Measure able to be
abstracted?

Required
Required

Indicate if the measure is risk-adjusted.
Indicate the score that is risk-adjusted for the measure.

Required

Please attest that the measure element can be abstracted and is feasible. If
borrowing the measure, it is expected that the ability to abstract the data
according to the QCDR measure owner’s specifications is a condition of selfnominating the QCDR measure. Withdrawing of the QCDR measure during
an active performance period is not acceptable.

Describe the link between the QCDR measure, cost measure, and an improvement
activity. Please document "no link identified", if there is no link to a cost measure or
an improvement activity. In cases where a QCDR measure does not have a clear
link to a cost measure and an improvement activity, we would consider exceptions if
the potential QCDR measure otherwise meets the QCDR measure requirements
and considerations.

AV

Clinical Recommendation
Statement

Required

Provide a concise statement regarding the clinical recommendation for this QCDR
measure including the current clinical guideline from which the measure is derived.
Example: Adolescent Recommendation (12-18 years)
“The USPSTF recommends screening for MDD in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years.
Screening should be implemented with adequate systems in place to ensure
accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and appropriate follow-up (B
recommendation)” (Sui, A. and USPSTF, 2016, p. 360).

AW

Provide the rationale for the
QCDR measure

Required

Provide a concise statement regarding the rationale for the QCDR measure.
Example: Depression is a serious medical illness associated with higher rates of
chronic disease increased health care utilization, and impaired functioning (Pratt,
Brody 2014). 2014 U.S. survey data indicate that 2.8 million (11.4%) adolescents
aged 12 to 17 had a major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year and that 15.7
million (6.6%) adults aged 18 or older had at least one MDE in the past year, with
10.2 million adults (4.3%) having one MDE with severe impairment in the past year
(Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2015).

AX

Provide measure performance
data (# months data collected,
average performance rate,
performance range, and number
of clinicians or groups)

Optional

Please provide the # of months the data was collected, average performance rate,
performance range and the number of eligible clinicians and/or TINs submitting the
measure within your self-nomination.
Example: 12 months, Average performance rate 75%, range 52-89%, 112
Clinicians submitting data

AY

If applicable, provide the study
citation to support performance
gap for the measure

Optional

AZ

If applicable, provide a
Participation Plan if QCDR
measure has low adoption by
clinicians

Optional

Provide the study citation for the measure to support the performance gap. Citations
should be the most current available or within 5 years.
Example: Negative outcomes associated with depression make it crucial to screen
in order to identify and treat depression in its early stages. While Primary Care
Providers (PCPs) serve as the first line of defense in the detection of depression,
studies show that PCPs fail to recognize up to 50% of depressed patients (Borner,
2010, p. 948)
If a QCDR measure fails to meet benchmarking thresholds for 2 consecutive
performance periods (i.e. the data submitted is insufficient in meeting the case
minimum and volume thresholds required for benchmarking), the QCDR may
submit a participation plan for CMS consideration if is believed that the measure is
important and relevant to a specialist’s practice.
Participation Plan requirements:
Detailed plan and methods to encourage eligible clinicians and groups to increase
QCDR measure adoption.
As examples, a QCDR measure participation plan could include one or more of the
following: Development of an education and communication plan; update the QCDR
measure’s specification with changes to encourage broader participation; require
reporting on the QCDR measure as a condition of reporting through the QCDR.
