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.

...

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:

...

• Not in IPP (True/False)

• Initial Population (True/False)

• Does Not Meet (True/False)

• Measure Population (True/False)

• Exclusion (True/False)

• Exception (True/False)

• Denominator/Population (True/False)

• Cases Failing (True/False)

• Numerator (True/False)

• Measure Observation - Continuous variable (CV) measures:  This is the measure observation that was calculated for encounter for the measure.  This is the value that is used to calculate the hospital's Median Observed Value.

• Denominator Observation

• Numerator Observation -

Additional columns in the Patient Results list (in order from left to right):

...

• Final Outcome - This column contains the final outcome for the patient’s episode of care.

• Encounter ID - This is the Encounter ID contained within the QRDA I document for the Episode of Care.

• Admit Date - This is the admission date of the encounter.

• Discharge Date - This is the discharge date of the encounter.

• Event ID - This is the DDSP ID assigned to the patient/eCQM/quarter.
