Description | The percentage of members 18 years of age and older who received at least 180 treatment days of ambulatory medication therapy for a select therapeutic agent during the measurement year and at least one therapeutic monitoring event for the therapeutic agent in the measurement year. For each product line, report each of the four rates separately and as a total rate. - Annual monitoring for members on angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB). - Annual monitoring for members on digoxin. - Annual monitoring for members on diuretics. - Annual monitoring for members on anticonvulsants. - Total rate (the sum of the four numerators divided by the sum of the four denominators). This definition is included with the permission of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and is an extract from the full measure definition published by NCQA. Refer to NCQA's HEDIS vol 2 measures for the complete measure definition. Formula: [((A/B) or (C/D) or (E/F) or (G/H) or ((A+C+E+G)/(B+D+F+H))) *100] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The percentage of Medicare members 65 years of age and older who have evidence of an underlying disease, condition or health concern and who were dispensed an ambulatory prescription for a contraindicated medication, concurrent with or after the diagnosis. Report each of the three rates separately and as a total rate. - A history of falls and a prescription for tricyclic antidepressants, antipsychotics or sleep agents. - Dementia and a prescription for tricyclic antidepressants or anticholinergic agents. - CRF and prescription for nonaspirin NSAIDs or Cox-2 Selective NSAIDs. - Total rate (the sum of the three numerators divided by the sum of the three denominators). Members with more than one disease or condition may appear in the measure multiple times (i.e., in each indicator for which they qualify). A lower rate represents better performance for all three rates. This definition is included with the permission of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and is an extract from the full measure definition published by NCQA. Refer to NCQA's HEDIS vol 2 measures for the complete measure definition. Formula: [((A/B) or (C/D) or (E/F) or ((A+C+E)/(B+D+F))) *100] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |
