PRMR Clinician Committee

Dear Clinician Committee Member, 

Thank you for attending the PQM Pre-Rulemaking Measure Review (PRMR) Education Meeting. If you haven’t yet, please create a PQM account to access the PRMR Workspace. We are aware of and addressing login and password reset issues raised during the meeting. We will also share a Workspace User Guide soon.  

Below is a summary of next steps and participation opportunities. 

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older at the start of the measurement period with one or more inpatient encounters during the measurement period who have an advance care planning document or documentation of an advance care planning discussion resulting in a documented decision in the electronic health record (EHR) by the time of hospital discharge for at least one hospital encounter during the measurement period.  

As you review the 2024 PRMR Clinician Committee measures and complete your assigned PIE forms, please use this post and subsequent comment thread to discuss with your peers, ask questions, and share resources as needed.  As PRMR evaluation lead, I'll also monitor for any logistical questions/concerns about the PIE forms. I've attached the PIE assignments for your committee to this post as a quick reference. 

I expect we will recieve our MUC list for our specific committee soon

Thank you 

Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) who received a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) test via lipid panel and achieved an LDL-C of <70mg/dL on the most recent test during the measurement period

We've sent out a comprehensive Q & A email this morning to follow up on all the great questions and requests we received during last week's committee education meeting. For easy reference (and to encourage you to use this workspace :)) I'm attaching the agenda and slides from the November 7 meeting here. I have also attached the PRMR PA template that we shared in the follow up email. Thank you all for your attention and engagement during the meeting. We're looking forward to a great PRMR season!

This electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) reports the percentage of female patients aged 40 to 75 years with at least one abnormal screening (BI-RADS 0) or screening-to-diagnostic (BI-RADS 4, 5) mammogram during the measurement period (i.e., calendar year) who received timely diagnostic resolution defined as either follow-up imaging with negative/benign/probably benign results or a breast biopsy within 60 days after their index (i.e., first) abnormal screening mammogram.

This electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) reports the percentage of patients aged 45 to 75 years with at least one positive stool-based colorectal cancer screening test (i.e., high-sensitivity guaiac fecal occult blood test, fecal immunochemical test, or Cologuard) during the measurement period (i.e., calendar year) who completed a colonoscopy within 180 days after their index (i.e., first) positive stool-based test result date.

This area of the website is designed to support committee members by enabling collaboration, sharing committee-specific documents, and fostering community. 

How do you plan to use this workspace? Reply to this post and let us know!

Welcome! 

We’re pleased to launch our enhanced PRMR Committee Workspace, a place exclusively for PRMR Committee members to communicate with Battelle staff and with one another. We’ll use this space to share helpful announcements, reminders, and documents (see also the Resources tab for a consolidated list of documents shared within the Workspace). We hope you will use the Discussions to connect with one another throughout the PRMR cycle.
