Brief Description of Measure: CMS951: Kidney Health Evaluation Percentage of patients aged 18-75 years with a diagnosis of diabetes who received a kidney health evaluation defined by an Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) AND Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR) within the measurement period Description of Issue: Screening is a patient safety issue in seniors because medication safety is informed by eGFR or kidney function to guide avoidance or dose adjustment of medications that are excreted and/or metabolized by the kidneys. Clinical experts suggest expanding the age range for the initial population, from 18-75 to 18-85.

Proposed Solution: Update the initial population criteria from patients aged 18-75 to patients aged 18-85. Rationale for Change: Updating the initial population to include patients aged 18-85 aligns with the measure intent and harmonizes measure collection types.
