QPP Measure #MICS2

Surgery Specific Postoperative Improvement in Pain Levels

Instructions: Patients who undergo a surgical procedure are asked to complete one or more surgery specific outcomes survey both preoperatively and following surgery. These outcomes surveys must contain one or more scores relevant to patient pain levels. Rationale: Understanding the change in a patient’s pain levels from before to after surgery is an important aspect of clinical care. The scores that are calculated can be used to improve a specific patient’s care plan or can be analyzed retrospectively to modify overall pain treatment methodologies. Surgeons have the option of collecting the surveys 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 10% from preoperatively to 4 weeks postoperatively; 15% from preoperatively to 6 weeks postoperatively; 20% from preoperatively to 3 months postoperatively; and 25% from preoperatively to 6 months postoperatively. Rate 1: Change in the calculated pain scores of a validated surgery specific patient reported outcome survey from before to after surgery. Rate 2: The overall percentage of patients that improve their pain scores beyond a minimum threshold for each postoperative interval.
