Measure #7: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Beta-Blocker Therapy – Prior
Myocardial Infarction (MI) or Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVEF < 40%)

2012 PHYSICIAN QUALITY REPORTING OPTIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL MEASURES:

REGISTRY ONLY

DESCRIPTION
:
Percentage of patients aged 18 years and older with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease seen within a 12 month period who also have prior MI OR a current or prior left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% who were prescribed beta-blocker therapy
INSTRUCTIONS:
This measure is to be reported a minimum of once per reporting period for patients with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease (who also have a prior myocardial infarction (MI) or a current or prior LVEF < 40%) seen during the reporting period. This measure may be reported by clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure based on the services provided and the Measure Reporting via Registry:
ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, CPT codes, and patient demographics are used to identify patients who are included in the measure’s denominator. The listed numerator options are used to report the numerator of the measure. The quality-data codes have been provided for registry only measures for use by registries that utilize claims data. It is not necessary to submit these codes for registry-based submissions. Do not report this measure via claims.
There are two reporting criteria for this measure:
(1) Patients who are 18 years and older with a diagnosis of CAD who have prior MI
(2) Patients who are 18 years and older with a diagnosis of CAD who have a current or prior
LVEF < 40%
The eligible professional should submit data on one of the reporting criteria, depending on the clinical findings. If the patient has CAD (and who have prior MI), use Denominator Reporting Criteria 1. If the patient has CAD and a current or prior LVEF < 40%, use Denominator Reporting Criteria 2. If the patient has both prior MI and LVEF < 40%, the eligible professional may report quality data for Reporting Criteria 2 and this wil count as appropriate reporting for

RATIONALE:
Nonadherence to cardioprotective medications is prevalent among outpatients with coronary artery disease and can be associated with a broad range of adverse outcomes, including al -cause and cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations, and the need for revascularization A patient with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease seen within a 12 month period and LVEF < 40% should be taking either bisoprolol, carvedilol, or sustained release metoprolol succinate. While all beta-blockers appear to be of equal efficacy in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease, these three medications have specifically shown to reduce mortality in patients with CLINICAL RECOMMENDATION STATEMENTS:
The following evidence statements are quoted verbatim from the referenced clinical guidelines. It is beneficial to start and continue beta-blocker therapy indefinitely in all patients who have had MI, acute coronary syndrome, or left ventricular dysfunction with or without heart failure symptoms, unless contraindicated. (Class I Recommendation, Level A Evidence) (ACC/AHA, 2007) Beta-blockers (using 1 of the 3 proven to reduce mortality, i.e., bisoprolol, carvedilol, and sustained release metoprolol succinate) are recommended for all stable patients with current or prior symptoms of heart failure and reduced LVEF, unless contraindicated.

De jaren ’90.   Het is handig om over decennia te spreken en ze een karakter te geven en een gezicht. Tot op zekere hoogte hebben ze dat ook en dat helpt bij onze neiging om te vereenvoudigen en inzicht te krijgen in de gebeurtenissen. Men kan ook zeggen dat elk decennium het kind is van het vorige en de moeder van het volgende. Decennia maken deel uit van het grote continuüm van de tijd.
