    • Quality ID #336: Maternity Care: Postpartum Follow-up and Care Coordination
    • Clinical confusion

      Specific example:  MIPS Quality ID #336 (https://qpp.cms.gov/docs/QPP_quality_measure_specifications/CQM-Measures/2020_Measure_336_MIPSCQM.pdf ) states

      “DENOMINATOR: All patients, regardless of age, who gave birth during a 12-month period seen for postpartum care visit before or at 8 weeks of giving birth”

       

      Whereas the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' recommendation is:  “. . . with a comprehensive postpartum visit no later than 12 weeks after birth.”  As stated in the attachment[^ACOG_Committee_Opinion_No__736__Optimizing.42.pdf]

       

      I don't see explicitly who the measure steward is for this measure. 

      I tried the QPP Help Desk via CS 1053820, but their response didn't make any sense.  I tried opening a Jira ticket (4616), but they told me they weren't responsible for this.

      Hence, I'm opening this CQL ticket.  This is frustrating to clinicians as it causes confusion.
