Measure Concepts Related to CMR by Measure Type and the Associated Measurement Point in the Logic Model
| Measure type | Measure concept | Description | Logic model measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process measure (current measure) | CMR completion rate | The percentage of beneficiaries who have received a CMR. | [2] |
| Process measure | CMR quality | The completion rate of multiple components of CMR quality (ie, 4 clinical activities: [1] collecting patient-specific information, [2] assessing medication therapies to identify medication-related problems, [3] developing a prioritized list of medication-related problems, and [4] creating a plan to resolve them with the patient, caregiver, and/or prescriber.) | [2a-d] |
| Intermediate outcome | CMR adherence rate | The rate of adherence to medications among beneficiaries who have received a CMR. | [3b] |
| Outcome | CMR adverse event rate | The rate of adverse drug events among beneficiaries who have received a CMR. | [3c] |
| PROM | Patient medication knowledge | The level of medication knowledge assessed by a validated tool among MTM program beneficiaries who have received a CMR. | [3a] |
| PRO-PM | Patient medication knowledge | The use of the patient medication knowledge PROM to assess the quality of CMR services between providers. | [3a] |
CMR could be replaced with another MTM service as an example of another measure concept.
CMR = comprehensive medication review; MTM = medication therapy management; PROM = patient-reported outcome measure; PRO-PM = patient-reported outcome performance measure.
