AMBULATORY
SURGERY CENTERS
in hospitals, home health, hospice,
and outpatient dialysis centers. It will
go live for ASCs and HOPDs [hospital
outpatient departments] eventually, "
Throneberry says.
ASC-16: Toxic Anterior Segment
Syndrome
In the final rule, CMS did not adopt this
new measure for the calendar year 2021
payment determination, with proposed
data collection taking place in 2019.
ASC-17: Hospital Visit after
Orthopedic Ambulatory Surgery
Procedures; ASC-18: Hospital
Visit after Urology Ambulatory
Surgery Procedures
CMS adopted these two new measures
in its final rule in November
2017. Data for these measures will
be collected beginning in 2020 for the
2022 payment determination, Throneberry
says. They are similar to ASC-12
(colonoscopy) but for orthopedics and
urology. Like ASC-12, no data submission
is required; CMS pulls the data
from claims detail reports.
Future measures
CMS is considering two additional
quality measures: Ambulatory Breast
Procedure Surgical Site Infection Outcome
Measure and Facility-Level Quality
Measures of Unplanned Hospital Visits
within Seven Days after Selected
Ambulatory Surgical Center Procedures
(general surgery.) " We've been in the
process of quality reporting for 5 years, "
Throneberry says. " We've seen a lot of
great quality and benchmarking data
come out of this journey, and those of
us in the quality community work hard
to communicate the needs and expertise
of our industry to CMS. " ✥
Leslie Flowers is president of Flowers
Communications in Indianapolis.
