Description | The percentage of children 2-18 years of age who were diagnosed with pharyngitis, dispensed an antibiotic and received a group A streptococcus (strep) test for the episode. A higher rate represents better performance (i.e., appropriate testing). 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) *100] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The percentage of children 3 months-18 years of age who were given a diagnosis of upper respiratory infection (URI) and were not dispensed an antibiotic prescription. The measure is reported as an inverted rate [1 - (numerator/eligible population)]. A higher rate indicates appropriate treatment of children with URI (i.e., the proportion for whom antibiotics were not prescribed). 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: [(1-(A/B)) *100] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The percentage of members 5-64 years of age who were identified as having persistent asthma and had a ratio of controller medications to total asthma medications of 0.50 or greater during the measurement year. 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) *100] (see dependencies and their labels for measures used in the formula) |

Description | The percentage of adults 18-64 years of age with a diagnosis of acute bronchitis who were not dispensed an antibiotic prescription. The measure is reported as an inverted rate [1 - (numerator/eligible population)]. A higher rate indicates appropriate treatment of adults with acute bronchitis (i.e., the proportion for whom antibiotics were not prescribed). 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.

Description | The percentage of members 5-64 years of age during the measurement year who were identified as having persistent asthma and were dispensed appropriate medications that they remained on during the treatment period. Two rates are reported: 1. The percentage of members who remained on an asthma controller medication for at least 50% of their treatment period. 2. The percentage of members who remained on an asthma controller medication for at least 75% of their treatment period.

Description | The percentage of COPD exacerbations for members 40 years of age and older who had an acute inpatient discharge or ED encounter on or between January 1-November 30 of the measurement year and who were dispensed appropriate medications. Two rates are reported: 1. Dispensed a systemic corticosteroid within 14 days of the event. 2. Dispensed a bronchodilator within 30 days of the event. Note: The eligible population for this measure is based on acute inpatient discharges and ED visits, not on members. It is possible for the denominator to include multiple events for the same individual.
