QPP Measure #LMBR7

Patients Suffering From a Lumbar Spine (Low Back) Injury who Demonstrate Improved Pain

Percentage of patients 18 years or older suffering from lumbar spine (low back) pain who achieve the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in the PROMIS Pain Interference Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT). The MCID for PROMIS Pain Interference is unique and validated for patients suffering low back functional deficits. This measure will be reported as the overall number of patients of rate 1 and rate 2 combined. To qualify, the patient must complete a baseline score and then one follow-up or discharge score. In order to fairly measure performance between providers' performance, the measure is risk-adjusted based on a proprietary assessment including age, sex, symptom characteristics, PROMIS baseline scores, social determinants of health, and psychosocial metrics. This measure will include three rates: 1) The number of non-surgical patients achieving a score change of 2.0 points in PROMIS Pain Interference 2) The number of surgical patients achieving a score change of 2.0 points in PROMIS Pain Interference 3) The overall performance rate of Rate 1 and Rate 2 combined
