Objectives

• Review the recently released quality measures for five common sleep disorders 

• Discuss how they will help you improve the care you provide your patients

American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Mission

• The mission of the AASM is to improve “sleep health and promote high quality patient-centered care through advocacy, education, strategic research, and practice standards.”

Page 7: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

• To deliver and demonstrate high value care and the goals of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the AASM has developed measures for five common sleep disorders to evaluate the quality of care in sleep medicine

Page 8: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Why measure quality

• The two primary purposes of measuring quality are – (1) to serve as essential management tools for improvement, and 

– (2) to evaluate the value of healthcare

• Value of Healthcare = Quality of Care/Costs

Page 9: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

The measures of quality

• 1) help providers identify opportunities for improvement

• 2) evaluate the effectiveness of interventions to improve quality

• 3) prioritize areas for improvement

Page 10: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

• The National Quality Forum suggests that quality measurement may – (1) inform consumers of healthcare, – (2) influence payment and payment programs, – (3) drive improvement via external comparison or accreditation/regulatory standards, or 

– (4) help with internal quality improvement

Structure measures

• Structure measures evaluate the setting in which care is delivered. 

Page 18: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Process measures

• Steps a provider takes • Process measures are generally real-time, and more immediately responsive to improvement efforts. 

Page 19: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Process measures cont 

• The best process measures reflect certain characteristics: – (a) they measure an agreed upon process of care, – (b) the process elements of care being measured have strong linkage to desired outcomes, 

– (c) execution of the process elements of care are modifiable by the organization measuring them, and

– (d) measurement is minimally resource intensive.

Page 20: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Outcome measures

• Outcome measures refer to “a health state of a patient resulting from health care,” and are therefore patient-centric.

• The systematic measurement of outcomes often leads to awareness of gaps in processes to achieve those goals– (a) they are important objectives in the care of patients with sleep disorders, and 

– (b) the outcomes of care should be a focus in routine practice and, in the context of clinical quality improvement activities, would lead to important changes in the effectiveness of care rendered

Steps

• Formation of workgroups• Comprehensive literature search• Review of titles and abstracts by 2 members• Pull relevant articles• Initial selection of processes and outcomes

Page 24: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Steps cont

• Workgroups drafted the technical definitions of numerators and denominators (if any) for measures utilizing a measure specification template

• Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) process to refine the measures for use

Page 26: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Steps cont

• Stakeholder Review• AASM BOD Review– The AASM recommends the use of these measures as part of a quality improvement program that will enhance the ability to improve the quality of care for patients with sleep disorders

– reduce variation in care delivered and improve the reliability with which key processes of care are rendered

Page 28: AASM Quality Measures: What you need to know Shalini Paruthi, MD Associate Professor, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Saint Louis University School of

Next Steps

• To move toward improvement, the AASM recommends the following: – Professionals or healthcare systems that provide care to patients with OSA, insomnia, narcolepsy, or restless legs syndrome should commit to a systematic program to evaluate and improve the quality of care rendered to patients with one or more of these sleep disorders.

Outcome 3

• Obesity is present in > 50% of OSA patients and itself is associated with heart problems

• Reduction of BMI has been clearly shown to reduce OSA severity and reduce adverse effects on cardiac performance

So…now what?• Consider what changes you need within your sleep center

Vital signs on check in: Ht, Wt, BMI, BP, ESS, QOL measure

Nurses and Techs may help pull adherence reports, manage data on-line

Specifically modify template so it asks:  snoring, sleepiness,  car crash/near miss, sleep study findings, weight management discussion, BP discussion

**May have to do these on every sleep clinic visit so you don’t miss a process or outcome measure

Or build a process within your EMR that can show you a screen shot of when was the last time each process or outcome measure was completed

Take home points-Why measure quality

• The primary purposes of measuring quality are (1) to serve as essential management tools for improvement(2) to evaluate the value of healthcare (3) find the gaps

• Value of Healthcare = Quality of Care/Costs• Recent history and legislation shows that the future of healthcare will demand improved and quantified value. 

• You want patients to have the highest quality of care… and you want to get paid!!
