Health Information Management and Quality 2

Types of Quality Measures Process Was a specific element of patient care provided? Evaluation of left ventricular function Outcome What happened with the patient? Mortality, Readmission, Complication Facility-reported Central line infection Concerns with hospitals using different methodologies and intensity of review Patient-reported HCAHPS Patient perception surveys 3

Types of Quality Measures Active Hospital must collect data from medical record and submit data Used for Core Measures & CDC/NHSN Healthcare-associated Infections Complex abstraction rules; time consuming Hospital has generous amount of time for re-reviews and validation Passive Claims-based Used for Mortality, Readmission, AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSI), Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) Based strictly on coding/claims data Less opportunity for re-reviews and validation 4

Quality Programs National vs Maryland National (CMS) Maryland (HSCRC) Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Quality-Based Reimbursement (QBR) Hospital Readmission Reduction Program (HRRP) Readmission Reduction Incentive Program (RRIP) Maryland Hospital Acquired Conditions (MHACs) (PPCs) Hospital Acquired Conditions (HAC) 5

CDI Benefit in Maryland Maryland no longer reimburses hospital care with a fee- for-service reimbursement, and instead uses a fixed- revenue budget (called GBR Global Budget Revenue) Value of a CDI program will be to perform positively on Quality, Efficiency and Market Share measurements in order to maintain the hospital s current revenue base and Maryland has close to 9% of total inpatient revenue at risk in the various quality and revenue adjustment methodologies 28

CDI Impact in Maryland Maryland Hospital Acquired Conditions (MHAC) Impact on actual MHAC assignment Risk adjustment using admitting SOI Readmission Reduction Incentive Program (RRIP) Risk adjustment using final SOI Mortality a component of Quality Based Reimbursement (QBR) Risk adjusted using admitting ROM Market Shift Adjustment Risk adjustment using final SOI Efficiency Measure under development 29

CDI Impact in Maryland, Continued Patient Safety Indicators (AHRQ PSI) a component of QBR and used in many national public report cards Impact on actual PSI assignment Risk adjusted using a unique APR DRG adjustment factor Other impact nature of admission and admission source Potentially Avoidable Utilization (PAU) Readmissions Risk adjusted using final SOI Prevention Quality Indicators (PQI) Determined based on principal diagnosis Other impact admission source 30

QBR/VBP Strategy Clinical Process Confirmation of principal diagnosis Core measures documentation requirements Outcomes Mortality risk adjustment AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) Coding of complication Present on admission Exclusions Risk adjustment 31

RRIP/HRRP Strategy Risk adjustment Documenting and coding all diagnoses Acuity and specificity of diagnoses Inpatient and outpatient 32

MHAC/HAC Strategy Appropriate documentation and coding of complication Clinical indicator support Condition ruled out Contradictory information Appropriate assignment of present on admission indicator Signs and symptoms on admission Timing of labs and diagnostic tests 33

Present on Admission Definitions Defined by the Inpatient Coding Guidelines as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including: emergency department observation outpatient surgery are considered to be present on admission Timing of documentation DOES NOT MATTER Physician may document that a diagnosis was present on admission at any time, including discharge summary or post- discharge query 34

Present on Admission Indicators Present on admission Y condition was present on admission N condition was NOT present on admission W provider is unable to clinically determine whether condition was present on admission or not U documentation is insufficient to determine if condition is present on admission E diagnosis is exempt from POA reporting W is treated the same as Y by CMS 35
