The Adolescent Assessment of Preparation for Transition (ADAPT) to Adult-Focused Health Care measures the quality of preparation for transition from pediatric-focused to adult-focused health care as reported in a survey completed by youth ages 16-17 years old with a chronic health condition. The ADAPT survey generates measures for each of the 3 domains: 1) Counseling on Transition Self-Management, 2) Counseling on Prescription Medication, and 3) Transfer Planning.

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (Stages 1-5, not receiving Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)) and proteinuria who were prescribed ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy within a 12-month period.

This measure is NQF Measure 1662/MIPS Measure 489.

The Breast Cancer Screening Recall Rates measure calculates the percentage of beneficiaries with mammography or digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening studies that are followed by a diagnostic mammography, DBT, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast in an outpatient or office setting within 45 days.

The measure estimates a hospital-level 30-day hospital-wide risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR), defined as death from any cause within 30 days after the index admission date, for Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients who are between the ages of 65 and 94.
