interpretation of intent of measure
-
Measure NQF 089 concerns itself with if the provider communicated with the ongoing diabetic provider regarding the findings of a dilated exam (diabetic retinopathy patient). Should the requirements of NQF 088 be repeated on this measure rather than focusing on the intent of the communication. OUr EHR provider requires documentation of macular edema and severity of diabetic retinopathy (just like measuer NQF 088) for this measure so if the provider actual meets the requiremnt of NQF 089 and properly communicates with the primary care provider about the dilated exam findings, they are still reported with a "treatment opportunity". should those requirements be repeated on this measure or should the measure result in "treatment opportunity" only if the communication did not occur?
