QPP Measure #MICS1

General Health Postoperative Improvement

Instructions: Patients who undergo a surgical procedure are asked to complete a general health outcomes survey both preoperatively and following surgery. Rationale: Understanding a patient’s mental and general physical improvement as a result of surgery is an important aspect of clinical care. The general health scores that are calculated can be used to improve a specific patient’s care plan or can be analyzed retrospectively to modify overall treatment methodologies. In addition, general health scores can be used to risk adjust other, surgery specific outcomes scores that are collected. Doctors have the option of collecting a postoperative general health survey at different intervals following surgery to account for different surgery types and physician follow-up patterns. Overall percentage: The overall percentage of patients that improve beyond a minimum threshold of 5% from preoperatively to 4 weeks postoperatively; 7% from preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively; 10% from preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively; and 15% from preoperatively to 6 months postoperatively. Rate 1: Change in the calculated score of a validated general health patient reported outcome survey from before to after surgery. Rate 2: The overall percentage of patients that improve their general health scores beyond a minimum threshold for each postoperative interval.
