Basal Cell Carcinoma/Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Mohs Surgery for Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ or Keratoacanthoma Type Squamous Cell Carcinoma 1 cm or Smaller on the Trunk
This measure evaluates the number of inappropriately utilized Mohs surgeries to treat pathologically-proven primary squamous cell carcinomas in situ (SCCis) of any size on the trunk and keratoacanthoma (SCC-KA) on the trunk that are 1 cm or smaller in immunocompetent patients. The assessment of inappropriate use of Mohs surgery will help to improve compliance with AUC and should result in healthcare savings. (Inverse Measure: Low count indicates better performance)
