6 Account Management & Data Submission Guide 6 STEP 3: Enter your healthcare organization s data from Questions 1-4 below in the four data fields on the left side of your screen. Hypertension data are based on quality measure NQF #0018: Controlling High Blood Pressure, defined as the percentage of patients age 18 to 85 who had a diagnosis of hypertension and whose blood pressure was adequately controlled to <140/90 mmhg. Enter data only from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, This Measure (NQF #0018) is endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF). In CMS programs, it is designated as PQRS #236. It is also used for quality benchmarking and reported as ACO #28 for accountable care organizations (ACOs) participating in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. The measures have yet to incorporate the November 2017 BP Guideline update thresholds and continue to define high blood pressure as >140/90. The AHA and AMA continue to track these quality measures to ensure Target: BP Recognition data align with them. Use the following guidance to answer questions 1-4. Q1: What is the total adult (18-85 years) patient population size for the healthcare organization? Enter the total number of unique patients in your healthcare organization, age 18-85, who had an office visit in Q2: What is your total adult (18-85 years) patient population that has been diagnosed with hypertension? Enter the number of patients age in your healthcare organization who have an existing diagnosis of hypertension prior to June 30, Exclude any patients with a diagnosis of end-stage renal disease, currently on renal dialysis, history of renal transplant, currently pregnant or those whose hypertension diagnosis occurred between July 1 Dec. 31, Hypertension is diagnosed when a patient has multiple office visits with blood pressures 140/90 mmhg, or when antihypertensive medication is prescribed to treat elevated blood pressure or target organ damage. Q3: Of those who have been diagnosed with hypertension (from Q2 above), what is the number of adult (18-85 years) patients under control, < 140/90? Enter the number of patients age in your healthcare organization who have a diagnosis of hypertension and had a blood pressure at their last 2017 office visit that was <140/90 mmhg.

Providers are physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants.

7 Account Management & Data Submission Guide 7 Submitting data for Target: BP Recognition Program continued Part 2: Complete the Prevalence Estimator To the right of the four questions, you ll see four tabs with age groups. This section is powered by the Million Hearts Hypertension Prevalence Estimator and is required for Recognition. This calculates the expected percentage of your patients with hypertension, based on your total adult patient population, and may provide an important tool for identifying undiagnosed patients in your organization. A value below the low-end value of the range suggests there may be undiagnosed hypertension in your practice due to missing data on the hypertension status of the patient population. Use the following steps to complete the prevalence estimator: STEP 1: Enter the total adult patient population data, from Question 1 in the data submission section, broken out by age, gender and race/ethnicity. Age groups are 18 44, 45 64, 65 74, and years old. Designated race/ethnicity groups are: Non-Hispanic White; Non-Hispanic Black; Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacitific Islander, and all other race/ethnicities; and Unknown. Patients who cannot be identified as male or female should be removed from ALL data reporting. In addition, those patients who cannot be categorized by the ethnicity groups, should be placed in Unknown. STEP 2: Use the tabs across the top of the Hypertension Prevalence Estimator table corresponding to the four age categories to record the number of patients for each of the Race/Ethnicity and Gender sub-categories. If Race/Ethnicity is unknown for any patients, record in the Unknown sub-category for each age tab and gender column. Part 3: Saving and submitting data You may save your data at any time, but you may only submit data once. Saving Data STEP 1: Select Save as Draft. The system will automatically alert you if any data errors are detected. STEP 2: Once your data have been saved, log in any time to correct data errors or complete your submission.
