Rationale

Clinical documentation is required to validate actions occurred and provide patient care notes from one provider to another.

Logic Model

This measure ensures clinical documentation of patient encounters at the pharmacy. If it isn’t document, it didn’t happen. The E-Care Plan Accessibility measure creates the structure for future process, outcome, and patient-reported measures.

Seguridad Measure Specification Process

Data Stratification

The measure rate will be reported as pharmacy.

If available and feasible, measure rate will be reported by type of pharmacy (e.g., health-system, community, specialty, mail-order, long-term care).

If available and feasible, measure rate will be reported by line of business (pharmacy Medicare rate, pharmacy Medicaid rate, pharmacy Commercial rate, and pharmacy uninsured rate).

Risk adjustment will be applied when available.

Value Sets

No value set is required for the calculation of this measure.

Future Iterations

Many pharmacy measures are designed as structure or process. Future goals of this concept include evaluating the outcomes from E-Care Plan submissions, type of data within E-Care Plans, and other aspects of safety/quality.
