Because the measure requires results, CLP LOINC codes would not meet the requirements for the measure. CLP LOINC codes are only used for ordering. Results are returned with their individual LOINC code indicating what portion of the CLP the result is for. The measure requires results for specific portions of the CLP..

Please see attached screenshot from USHIK for reference. As part of the July 2014 eCQM update to the Ischemic Vascular Disease (IVD): Complete Lipid Panel and LDL Control measure, the Laboratory Test, Result: Complete Lipid Panel (result) has been removed from Numerator 1 satisfaction. The majority of athena clients satisfy this measure through ordering a Complete Lipid Panel. Removing this lab from satisfaction has a significant performance impact on our providers. This measure has also been removed from several 2015 quality programs: HEDIS, ACO, BTE, and CPCI. Historically, our providers have ordered a Complete Lipid Panel which includes the four components (Total Cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and Triglycerides) to satisfy this measure. They are not accustomed to ordering each lab individually, which is now required with the July 2014 update. From a clinical perspective, our providers have advised that when ordering a complete lipid panel it is assumed to include the four aforementioned components.
