QPP Measure #MICS3

Surgery Specific Postoperative Improvement in Function Levels

Instructions: Patients who undergo a surgical procedure are asked to complete one or more surgery specific outcomes surveys both preoperatively and following surgery. These outcomes surveys must contain one or more scores relevant to patient function levels such as mobility or the ability to complete common tasks. Rationale: Understanding the change in a patient’s function 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 treatment methodologies. Surgeons have an option of collecting a postoperative survey at different intervals following surgery to account for different surgery types and physician follow-up patterns. 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 function 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 function scores beyond a minimum threshold for each postoperative interval.
