      Thank you for inquiring about the Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease eCQM. Note that the measure contains four populations that must be aggregated to determine the final performance rate. Please refer to the “Rate Aggregate” instructions copied below from the measure specifications header (also found here):

      “This measure is intended to have one reporting rate, which aggregates the following populations into a single performance rate for reporting purposes:

      Population 1: All patients who were previously diagnosed with or currently have a diagnosis of clinical ASCVD, including an ASCVD procedure.

      Population 2: Patients aged 20 to 75 years at the beginning of the measurement period who have ever had a laboratory result of LDL-C >= 190 mg/dL or were previously diagnosed with or currently have an active diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia.

      Population 3: Patients aged 40 to 75 years at the beginning of the measurement period with an active diagnosis of Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes at any time during the measurement period.

      Population 4: Patients aged 40 to 75 at the beginning of the measurement period with a 10-year ASCVD risk score of > = 20 percent during the measurement period.

      For the purposes of this measure, a single performance rate can be calculated as follows:

      Performance Rate = (Numerator 1 + Numerator 2 + Numerator 3 + Numerator 4)/ [(Denominator 1 - Denominator Exclusions 1- Denominator Exceptions 1) + (Denominator 2 - Denominator Exclusions 2 - Denominator Exceptions 2) + (Denominator 3 - Denominator Exclusions 3 - Denominator Exceptions 3) + (Denominator 4 - Denominator Exclusions 4 - Denominator Exceptions 4)]”

      If an EHR has 4 populations listed for CMNS347-Statin Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease, which one do I use for submisstion?
