QPM Tip:

Kidney Health Evaluation for Patients with Diabetes (KED)

In addition to a blood test, providers must order a urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) test yearly in order to close KED care gaps. Separate urine creatinine and urine albumin tests alone will NOT satisfy the measure without a calculation of the ratio of albumin to creatinineMake sure to provide urine collection cups at check-in for all patients with diabetes if urine tests are collected in-house. The KED care gap cannot be closed with a blood test only.

Reminders

Use your Patient Opportunity Reports to close care gaps

On July 2, adult PCPs received updated Patient Opportunity Reports in their practice's main OneDrive account. Use these patient-level reports to identify patients that need visits to re-engage in care, close quality care gaps, and/or manage and document chronic conditions.

We are now over halfway through the year now is a great time to ensure you're on track to close open care gaps and bring in patients not yet seen this year.


Please reach out to your provider engagement team member if your practice needs any additional support on improving workflows to address open care gaps or how to use the reports.
