Purpose:

To provide a method by which each patient's episode of care results, by measure, may be reviewed.  This is especially useful when needing to identify which episodes of care have affected the Observed Rate or Observation Value of the measure.

...

  • Selecting the Quarter quarter if data was submitted for multiple quarters within the “Select Quarter” drop-down box.

  • Selecting the specific Population Breakdown item from the Waterfall chart (e.g., click on the bar for “Not in Initial Population”, “Does Not Meet”, etc.)

• On the lower right-hand side of the page, click on the “Review patient results” Patient Results” button.

The following columns in the Patient Results list matches the Population breakdown and shows how each patient’s episode of care was processed against the selected eCQM and, if appropriate, selected quarter and/or population breakdown for that eCQM. 

(Example Image Pending)

False means the episode of care is not in that breakdown on the Waterfall Chart and True means that it is.  An episode of care may be in multiple breakdowns (True) on the Waterfall Chart.  For example:

...

The columns are as follows.  The definition of each column is the same as the associated population breakdown on the waterfall chart.
