Collecting Data for the CMS Initiative FY05

CMS is in the process of developing and tracking inpatient clinical quality measures. The manual listed below is designed to assist you in your identification of appropriate patients and admissions for these measures. Many of you may already have implemented a process to identify and evaluate these measures. This manual is NOT designed to replace your current processes, but to augment them. ITSC plans to release an electronic query for these measures within the Clinical Indicator Reporting System CIRS 05 (formerly GPRA+) software application. This current manual is designed to 'bridge' the gap until that application is released.

You will still need to do chart reviews for certain of the measures, since Resource and Patient Management System RPMS does not currently record 'time' in a retrievable manner. Also, ejection fraction was recently added as a measurement field. ITSC recommends that this value be recorded into RPMS if it is identified through chart review. Please work with your data entry person to enter this information into your measurements RPMS file.
