Tobacco Interventions
This snapshot highlights the percentage of known tobacco users receiving care from health centers funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) who received tobacco cessation intervention compared to the Million Hearts® target doubled from 2011 to 2013.
Source: Data are reported from the HRSA Uniform Data System and are also available on the Million Hearts® Clinical Quality Measures Dashboard.
Medicare Reporting Coverage
This snapshot highlights the number of eligible providers attesting to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Program each year who chose to report on measure NQF 0018 (Controlling High Blood Pressure), which captures all adult patients with hypertension seen during the reporting period, and the number of patients with hypertension who are covered by that reporting.
The size of both numbers has increased over time while the proportion of eligible providers choosing to report on NQF 0018 has remained constant and the number of providers attesting to the program has increased. The number of hypertensive patients covered by reporting on measure NQF 0018 has increased from 2 million in 2011 to 17 million in 2013.
