General Information
Numerator
There is not a traditional numerator for this measure; the measure is calculating the average change in functional status score from pre-operative to post-operative functional status score. The measure is NOT aiming for a numerator target value for a post-operative OKS score.
For example:
The average change in knee function was an increase of 15.9 points one year post-operatively on a 48 point scale.
Denominator
Adult patients age and older (no upper age limit) who undergo a primary or revision total knee replacement procedure during a calendar year performance period (e.g. dates of procedure occurring between 1/1/2013 and 12/31/2013) AND have a completed pre-operative and post-operative OKS patient reported outcome assessments.
