Measure Description

The IVD All-or-None Measure is one outcome measure (optimal control). The measure contains four goals. All four goals within a measure must be reached in order to meet that measure. The numerator for the all-or-none measure should be collected from the organization's total IVD denominator. All-or-None Outcome Measure (Optimal Control) - Using the IVD denominator optimal results include:

• Most recent blood pressure (BP) measurement is less than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg -- AND
• Most recent tobacco status is Tobacco Free -- AND
• Daily Aspirin or Other Antiplatelet Unless Contraindicated -- AND
• Statin Use Unless Contraindicated

 

Instructions

This measure is to be submitted a minimum of once per performance period for all patients seen during the performance period. The most recent quality-data code submitted will be used for performance calculation. This measure may be submitted by Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) eligible clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure for the primary management of patients with ischemic vascular disease based on the services provided and the measure-specific denominator coding.

Measure Submission Type:

Measure data may be submitted by individual MIPS eligible clinicians, groups, or third party intermediaries. The listed denominator criteria are used to identify the intended patient population. The numerator options included in this specification are used to submit the quality actions as allowed by the measure. The quality-data codes listed do not need to be submitted by MIPS eligible clinicians, groups, or third party intermediaries that utilize this modality for submissions; however, these codes may be submitted for those third party intermediaries that utilize Medicare Part B claims data. For more information regarding Application Programming Interface (API), please refer to the Quality Payment Program (QPP) website.

 

THERE ARE TWO SUBMISSION CRITERIA FOR THIS MEASURE:

OR

2) Patients with one Acute Coronary Event (Acute Myocardial Infarction [AMI], Percutaneous Coronary Intervention [PCI], or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft [CABG]) 18-75 years of age and alive as of the last day of the measurement period) from a hospital visit (excluding Emergency and Lab Only visits) and have been seen by a primary care provider (PCP) / Cardiologist for two office visits in 24 months and one office visit in 12 months

 

SUBMISSION CRITERIA 1: PATIENTS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE (CAD) OR A CAD RISK- EQUIVALENT CONDITION 18-75 YEARS OF AGE AND ALIVE AS OF THE LAST DAY OF THE MEASUREMENT PERIOD AND A MINIMUM OF TWO CAD OR CAD RISK-EQUIVALENT CONDITION CODED OFFICE VISITS WITH A PRIMARY CARE PROVIDER (PCP) / CARDIOLOGIST IN 24 MONTHS AND ONE OFFICE VISIT IN 12 MONTHS

Denominator (Submission Criteria 1)

Patients with CAD or a CAD Risk-Equivalent Condition (other atherosclerotic vascular disease, including peripheral arterial disease, atherosclerotic aortic disease, and carotid artery disease) 18-75 years of age and alive as of the last day of the measurement period and a minimum of two CAD or CAD Risk-Equivalent Condition coded office visits with a Primary Care Provider (PCP) / Cardiologist in 24 months and one office visits in 12 months

DENOMINATOR NOTE: To meet the denominator criteria, the 24-month look back period applies to the performance period plus prior year. **This measure requires two patient encounters. At least one of the encounters should occur during the performance period to be eligible.

*Signifies that this CPT Category I code is a non-covered service under the Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (PFS). These non-covered services should be counted in the denominator population for MIPS CQMs.

Rationale

There has been important evidence from clinical trials that further supports and broadens the merits of risk-reduction therapies for patients with established coronary and other atherosclerotic vascular disease, including peripheral arterial disease, atherosclerotic aortic disease, and carotid artery disease.

Circulation. 2013;00:000–000.

AHA/ACC Guidelines for Preventing Heart Attack and Death in Patients With Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: 2001 Update 


Clinical Recommendation Statements

The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommend that high-intensity statin therapy should be initiated or continued as first-line therapy in women and men less than or equal to 75 years of age who have clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, unless contraindicated.

In November 2013, the ACC and AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines released updated guidance for the treatment of blood cholesterol. The new recommendations remove treatment targets for LDL-C for the primary or secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and recommend high or moderate intensity statin therapy based on patient risk factors. Four major statin benefit groups were identified for whom ASCVD risk clearly outweighs the risk of adverse events. Individuals with ASCVD are one of the identified groups.

Based on trials involving other secondary prevention therapies, the ACC and AHA recommend aspirin in all patients, unless contraindicated, with established coronary and other atherosclerotic vascular disease, including peripheral arterial disease, atherosclerotic aortic disease, and carotid artery disease. The ACC and AHA also recommend the use of other antiplatelet agents based on disease type and clinical conditions.

Patients with blood pressure greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg should be treated, as tolerated, with blood pressure medication, treating initially with beta blockers and/or ACE inhibitors, with addition of other drugs as needed to achieve goal blood pressure.

The ACC and AHA recommends secondary prevention for patients with Coronary and other Vascular Disease that includes strongly encouraging patient and family to stop smoking and to avoid secondhand smoke through the provision of counseling, pharmacological therapy and formal smoking cessation programs as appropriate. The goal is for complete smoking cessation.
