Abstract
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) supported Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Center for Patient Safety, Research, and Practice to retool one existing National Quality Forum (NQF) endorsed clinical quality measure (CQM) measure into an electronic clinical quality measure (eCQM) and develop three new eCQMs related to orthopedic care. This manuscript details the iterative process of measure development through environmental scans and stakeholder feedback prior to testing at two geographically different sites. The four measures under development are the: Risk Standardized Complication Rate (RSCR), Risk Standardized Venous Thromboembolism and Major Bleeding Rate (VTE/Bleeding), Risk Standardized Prolonged Opioid Prescribing Rate (POP), and the Risk Standardized Inpatient Respiratory Depression Rate (IRD).
