Hello Everyone, I was hoping to get some feedback from those that are filing anesthesia PQRS measures. My co-worker and my self were discussing the filing of the measure (s).
If your group is in ASC that never places CVC's you will not be able to report any of the anesthesia PQRS measures, leaving them to be fined in the future for not reporting. We have no problems in the hospital setting, but it is the smaller "get them in and out" places that prevent us from reporting. How are you all handeling the situation?
I have always understood measure 76 is only reported when performed. It tracks the percentage of patients who undergo CVC insertion when the provider uses all elements of maximal sterile barrier technique. Requirements dictate that providers use cap, mask, sterile gown, sterile gloves, a large sterile sheet, hand hygiene, and 2 percent chlorhexidine for cutaneous antisepsis.
Thanks in advance!!!!
