All Rights Reserved.<br><br> CPT ® Copyright 2006 American Medical Association 3 Purpose of Measures: These clinical performance measures, developed by the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology, American Society of Clinical Oncology, and the Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement ® (Consortium), are designed for individual quality improvement. Unless otherwise indicated, the measures are also appropriate for accountability if appropriat e methodological, statistical, and implementation rules are achieved. Accountability Measures: Measure #1: Cancer stage documented National Quality Forum (NQF) Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Measure #2: Hormonal therapy for stage IC through IIIC, ER/PR positive breast cancer NQF Endorsed " Measure #3: Chemotherapy for Stage IIIA through IIIC colon cancer patients NQF Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Measure #4: Plan for chemotherapy documented Measure #6: Treatment summary communication 3 Radiation oncology NQF Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Measure #7: Radiation dose limits to normal tissues NQF Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Measure #8: Pain intensity quantified 3 Medical oncology and radiation oncology NQF Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Measure #9: Plan of care for pain 3 Medical oncology and radiation oncology NQF Endorsed " (Time-Limited) Quality Improvement only: Measure #5: Treatment summary documented and communicated 3 Medical oncology Measure #10: Pathology report Intended Audience and Patient Population: These measures are designed for use by physicians and for calculating reporting or performance measurement at the individual physician level.<br><br> When existing hospital-level or plan-level measures are available for the same measurement topics, the Consortium attempts to harmonize the measures to the extent feasible. These measures are designed for oncologists and other physicians managing the care of patients with cancer. The Consortium also encourages the use of these measures by non-physician health professionals, where appropriate.<br><br> Measure Specifications The Consortium seeks to specify measures for implementation using multiple data sources, including paper medical record, administrative (claims) data, and particular emphasis on Electronic Health Record Systems (EHRS). Specifications to report on these measures for Oncology using administrative (claims) data are included in this document. We have identified codes for thes e measures, including ICD-9 and CPT (Evaluation & Management Codes, Category I and where Category II codes would apply).<br><br> Specifications for additional data sources, including EHRS, will be fully developed at a later date. Measure Exclusions: For process measures , the Consortium provides three categories of reasons for which a patient may be excluded from the denominator of an individual measure: " Medical reasons Includes: - not indicated (absence of organ/limb, already received/performed, other) - contraindicated (patient allergic history, potential adverse drug interaction, other) © 2007 American Medical Association. All Rights Reserved.<br><br> CPT ® Copyright 2006 American Medical Association 4 " Patient reasons Includes: - patient declined - economic, social, or religious reasons - other patient reasons " System reasons Includes: - resources to perform the services not available - insurance coverage/payor-related limitations - other reasons attributable to health care delivery system These measure exclusion categories are not available uniformly across all measures; for each measure, there must be a clear rationale to permit an exclusion for a medical, patient, or system reason. The exclusion of a patient may be reported by appen ding the appropriate modifier to the CPT Category II code designated for the measure: " Medical reasons : modifier 1P " Patient reasons : modifier 2P " System reasons : modifier 3P Although this methodology does not require the external reporting of more detailed exclusion data, the Consortium recommends that physicians document the specific reasons for exclusion in patients 9 medical records for purposes of optimal patient management and audit-readiness. The Consortium also advocates the systematic review and analysis of each physician 9s exclusions data to identify practice patterns and opportunities for quality improvement.<br><br> For example, it is possible for imple menters to calculate the percentage of patients that physicians have identified as meeting the criteria for exclusion. Please refer to documentation for each individual measure for information on the acceptable exclusion categories and the codes and modifiers to be used for reporting. Measures #1-10 in the Oncology measurement set are process measures.<br><br> For outcome measures , the Consortium specifically identifies all acceptable reasons for which a patient may be excluded from the denominator. Each specified reason is reportable with a CPT Category II code designated for that purpose. There are no outcome measures in the Oncology measurement set.<br><br> The Consortium continues to evaluate and likely will evolve its methodology for handling exclusions as it gains experience in t he use of the measures. Data Capture and Measure Calculation The Consortium intends for physicians to collect data on each patient eligible for a measure. Feedback on measures should be available to physicians by patient to facilitate patient management and in aggregate to identify opportunities for improvement across a physician's patient population.<br><br> Measure calculations will differ depending on whether a rate is being calculated for performance or reporting purposes. The method of calculation for performance follows these steps: first, identify the patients who meet the eligibility criteria for the denominator (PD); second, identify which of those patients meet the numerator criteria (A); and third, for those patients who d o not meet the numerator criteria, determine whether an appropriate exclusion applies and subtract those patients from the denominato r (C). (see examples below) The methodology also enables implementers to calculate the rates of patient exclusions and to further analyze both low and high rates, as appropriate (see examples below).<br><br> The method of calculation for reporting differs. One program which currently focuses on reporting rates is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI). Currently, under that program design, there will be a reporting denominator determined solely from claims data (CPT and ICD-9), which in some cases result in a reporting denominator that is much larger than the eligible population for the performance denominator.<br><br> Additional components of the reporting denominator are explained below. The components that make up the numerator for reporting include all patients from the eligible population for which the physici an has reported, including: the number of patients who meet the numerator criteria (A), the number of patients for whom valid exclusions apply (C) and also the number of patients who do not meet the numerator criteria (D). These components, where applicable, are summed together to make up the inclusive reporting numerator.<br><br> The calculation for reporting will be the reporti ng numerator divided by the reporting denominator. (see examples below). Examples of calculations for reporting and performance are provided for each measure.<br><br> Calculation for Performance For performance purposes, this measure is calculated by creating a fraction with the following components: Numerator, Denominator, and Denominator Exclusions. Numerator (A) Includes: Number of patients meeting numerator criteria Performance Denominator (PD) Includes: Number of patients meeting criteria for denominator inclusion Denominator Exclusions (C) Include: Number of patients with valid medical, patient or system exclusions (where applicable; will differ by measure) Performance Calculation A (# of patients meeting numerator criteria) PD (# patients in denominator) 3 C (# patients with valid denominator exclusions) It is also possible to calculate the percentage of patients excluded overall, or excluded by medical, patient, or system reason where applicable: Overall Exclusion Calculation C (# of patients with any valid exclusion) PD (# patients in denominator) OR Exclusion Calculation by Type C 1 (# patients with medical reason) PD (# patients in denominator) C 2 (# patients with patient reason) PD (# patients in denominator) C 3 (# patients with system reason) PD (# patients in denominator) Calculation for Reporting For reporting purposes, this measure is calculated by creating a fraction with the following components: Reporting Numerator and Reporting Denominator © 2007 American Medical Association.

Because this is that pathologic (pTNM) classification and stage groupin g (based on examination of a surgically resected specimen with sufficient tissue to evaluate the highest T, N, or M classificatio n), it is recorded in addition to the clinical classification. It does not replace the clinical classification.<br><br> Both should be maintai ned in the patient 9s permanent medical record&It is intended to provide a means by which this information can readily be communicated to others, to assist in therapeutic decisions, and to help estimate prognosis. (Joint Committee on Cancer 2002) 1 A central component of the treatment of breast cancer is full knowledge of extent of disease and biological features. The need for and selection of various local or systemic therapies are based on a number of prognostic and predictive factors.<br><br> These factors include tumor histology, clinical and pathologic characteristics of the primary tumor, axillary node status, tumor horm one receptor content, tumor HER2 status, presence or absence of detectable metastatic disease, patient comorbid conditions, patient age, and menopausal status. (NCCN, 2007) 2 Rationale for the measure: Cancer stage is a critical component in determining treatment options for patients with cancer. Though critically important, cancer stage is not always documented in the medical record.<br><br> This measure is intended to be reported at least once per 12 month reporting period. Data capture and calculations: Calculation for Performance For performance purposes, this measure is calculated by creating a fraction with the following components: Numerator and Denominator. Performance Numerator (A) Includes: " Patients who have a baseline AJCC cancer stage or documentation that the cancer is metastatic in the medical record Performance Denominator (PD) Includes: " All patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of breast, colon, or rectal cancer who are seen in the ambulatory setting Performance Calculation Components for this measure are defined as: A # of patients who have a baseline AJCC cancer stage or documentation that the cancer is metastatic in the medical record PD # of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of breast, colon, or rectal cancer who are seen in the ambulatory setting Calculation for Reporting For reporting purposes, this measure is calculated by creating a fraction with the following components: Reporting Numerator and Reporting Denominator Reporting Numerator includes each of the following instances: A.<br><br> Patients who have a baseline AJCC cancer stage or documentation that the cancer is metastatic in the medical record D.

Aromatase inhibitors are appropriate as initial treatment for women with contraind ications to tamoxifen. For all other postmenopausal women, treatment options include 5 years of aromatase inhibitors treatment or sequential therapy consisting of tamoxifen (for either 2 to 3 years or 5 years) followed by aromatase inhibitors for 2 to 3, or 5 years (ASCO guidelines include narrative rankings).<br><br> (ASCO 3 ) Patients intolerant of aromatase inhibitors should receive tamoxifen. Women with hormone receptor 3negative tumors should not receive adjuvant endocrine therapy (ASCO guidelines include narrative rankings). (ASCO 3 ) Patients with invasive breast cancers that are estrogen or progesterone receptor positive should be considered for adjuvant endocrine therapy regardless of patient age, lymph node status, or whether or not adjuvant chemotherapy is to be administered (Category 2A).<br><br> (NCCN 4 ) The most firmly established adjuvant endocrine therapy is tamoxifen for both premenopausal and postmenopausal women... Prospective, randomized trials demonstrate that the optimal duration of tamoxifen appears to be five years. In patients receivi ng both tamoxifen and chemotherapy, chemotherapy should be given first, followed by sequential tamoxifen.<br><br> Several studies have evaluated aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of postmenopausal women with early-stage breast cancer (Category 2A). (NCCN 4 ) Rationale for the measure: Despite evidence suggesting the role of adjuvant endocrine therapy in lowering the risk of tumor recurrence, many female patien ts who should be receiving this therapy are not. This measure assesses whether patients with a certain stage of breast cancer (IC -III) and ER/PR+ are currently receiving the therapy.<br><br> There are allowable medical, patient, and system reasons to document instances in which a woman with stage IC-III, ER/PR+ may not be a candidate for the therapy. Note: the reporting/managing physician does not need to have actually written the prescription; however the reporting/managing physician must verify that the patient alrea dy has been prescribed the hormonal therapy by another physician Data capture and calculations: Calculation for Performance For performance purposes, this measure is calculated by creating a fraction with the following components: Numerator, Denominator, and Denominator Exclusions.

Patients who have a chemotherapy treatment summary* documented in the chart B.<br><br> Patients who have a documentation that a written chemotherapy treatment summary* was provided to the patient C. Patients who have documentation that the chemotherapy treatment summary* was communicated to the physician(s) providing continuing care *Treatment Summary definition - a report that includes mention of all of the following components: 1) chemotherapy treatment delivered (including number of cycles administered, duration, and extent of dose reduction); 2) reason treatment was stopped; 3 ) major toxicities and/or hospitalizations; 4) treatment response; 5) follow up care and relevant providers. This measure requires that ALL components listed within the numerator statement should be provided in order to meet the measure.<br><br> Denominator : All patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of cancer who have completed adjuvant chemotherapy treatment within the 12 month reporting period Denominator Exclusion: Documentation of a patient reason(s) for not having either a chemotherapy treatment summary documented in the chart OR not having documentation that the chemotherapy treatment summary was communicated to the patient OR not having documentation that the chemotherapy treatment summary was communicated to the physician(s) providing continuing care (eg, patient requests that report not be sent) Documentation of system reason(s) for not having either a chemotherapy treatment summary documented in the chart OR not having documentation that the written chemotherapy treatment summary was provided to the patient OR not having documentation that the chemotherapy treatment summary was communicated to the physician(s) providing continuing care (eg, patient does not have any physician responsible for providing continuing care) This measure requires that ALL components listed within the numerator statement should be provided in order to meet the measure. Measure: Percentage of patients, regardless of age, with a diagnosis of cancer who have completed chemotherapy within the 12 month reporting period who: A) have a chemotherapy treatment summary* documented in the chart; AND B) have a documentation that the written chemotherapy treatment summary* was provided to the patient; AND C) have documentation that the chemotherapy treatment summary* was communicated to the physician(s) providing continuing care The following clinical recommendation statements are quoted verbatim from the referenced clinical guidelines and represent the evidence base for the measure: The chemotherapy treatment summary should be prepared at the completion of a course of treatment. The core elements of a chemotherapy treatment summary are: Chemotherapy treatment delivered, including number of cycles administered, duration, and extent of dose reduction Reason treatment was stopped Major toxicities and/or hospitalizations Treatment response Follow up care and relevant providers This may occur at the end of a course of adjuvant therapy, before a planned surgical resection, or after disease progression.<br><br> Treatment breaks, holidays, and minor modifications are not envisioned as triggering preparation of such a summary. The treatment plan and summary are not intended to replace detailed chart documentation, including complete patient histories or chemotherapy flow sheets. (ASCO) Rationale for the measure: Timely, accurate, and effective communications are critical to quality and value in contemporary medical practices.<br><br> This measure is broken into 3 distinct components to encourage sharing of communication about the patient 9s course of treatment with the patient him/herself, the physician proving continuing care for the patient, and documented in the medical record. Sin ce each component of the numerator will be scored separately, physicians will know exactly which aspect of care may need improvement.
