QPP Measure #PIMSH21

Oncology: Screening and Achieving Resolution or Improvement of Distress for Cancer Care

Percentage of patients 18 years and older with an active cancer diagnosis who are screened for distress AND if screen is positive, achieve resolution or improvement within 6 months for at least 1 of their concerns. THERE ARE TWO SUBMISSION CRITERIA FOR THIS MEASURE: 1) Patients 18 years and older with an active cancer diagnosis who are screened for distress using a comprehensive, standardized tool which assesses physical, emotional, social, practical, and spiritual concerns. AND 2) Patients 18 years and older with an active cancer diagnosis who screen positive for distress using a comprehensive, standardized screening tool and achieve resolution or improvement within 6 months for at least 1 of their concerns. The measure contains two submission criteria which aim to identify patients who were screened for distress (Submission Criteria 1) and of those patients who screened positive for distress, did corresponding interventions following a positive distress screening lead to meaningful improvement or resolution within 6 months (Submission Criteria 2). By separating this measure into various submission criteria, the MIPS eligible clinician or practice will be able to better ascertain where gaps in performance exist and identify opportunities for improvement. For accountability reporting in the CMS MIPS program, the rate for Submission Criteria 2 is used for performance.
