    2021 MIPS Measure #478: Functional Status Change for Patients with Neck Impairments

    This is a patient-reported outcome measure of risk-adjusted change in functional status for patients aged 14 years+ with neck impairments. The change in functional status (FS) is assessed using the FOTO Neck FS patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). The measure is adjusted to patient characteristics known to be associated with FS outcomes (risk-adjusted) and used as a performance measure at the patient level, at the individual clinician level, and at the clinic level to assess quality. The measure is available as a computer adaptive test, for reduced patient burden, or a short form (static/paper-pencil).
