eCQM / NQF #: CMS144v8 /0083e
Measure: Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with a current or prior left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% who were prescribed beta-blocker therapy either within a 12-month period when seen in the outpatient setting OR at each hospital discharge.
Numerator: Patients who were prescribed beta-blocker therapy either within a 12-month period when seen in the outpatient setting OR at each hospital discharge.
Denominator: All patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of heart failure with a current or prior LVEF < 40%.
Denominator Exceptions: Documentation of medical reason(s) for not prescribing beta-blocker therapy (e.g., low blood pressure, fluid overload, asthma, patients recently treated with an intravenous positive inotropic agent, allergy, intolerance, other medical reasons).

Documentation of patient reason(s) for not prescribing beta-blocker therapy (e.g., patient declined, other patient reasons).

*ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

  • The appropriate LOINC code for the LVEF result can be linked to the matching condition created from an electronic lab interface, to a numeric template field or to a procedure code.
  • Whenever documenting a result using a procedure code, be sure to enter it in the Result field.
  • The patient must be at least 18 years of age prior to the start of the measurement period.
  • A Medication Not Ordered may be undone using the Undo Medication Not Ordered option in the Medication button.  It must be done in the same note in which it was originally indicated.
  • The only data used to determine the denominator is data from ChartMaker Clinical. If a patient encounter was not entered into Clinical, that encounter is not included in the denominator for the statistical calculations in the MIPS Dashboard. Please add these additional patients to the denominator and recalculate the percentage for Attestation purposes.
