End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Measures
Specifications for the Quality Measures and the Dialysis Facility Compare Measures
Arbor Research Collaborative for Health, in collaboration with the University of Michigan Kidney and Epidemiology Cost Center (UM-KECC), develop, maintain, and update the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Quality Measures for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), under the Quality Measure Development and Maintenance contract with CMS. These include the Clinical Performance Measures (CPM), the Dialysis Facility Compare (DFC) Measures, and the development of new quality measures that will be implemented beginning in 2012. Several of CMS’s current and new Quality Measures will be used by CMS in the CMS ESRD Quality Incentive Program (QIP). In addition, Arbor Research and UM-KECC work with CMS’s Measures Management System (MMS) in the development, evaluation, and reporting of the current ESRD Quality Measures.
New measures, as well as those that are revised, go through the National Quality Forum (NQF) consensus endorsement process. Once measures are in use, CMS requires that they periodically be reevaluated. This is to determine, for example, whether revisions are necessary in response to new clinical evidence, or a change in clinical guidelines since the last cycle of review. The last cycle of measure development occurred in 2007. In the summer of 2008, the specifications for the ESRD Quality Measures were formally documented with the MMS through collaboration with another CMS contractor, the Health Services Advisory Group, Inc. (HSAG). Documentation forms with the detailed measure specifications were completed for each ESRD measure (listed below), and were prepared by Arbor Research and UM-KECC.
In September 2010, a new set of quality measures were submitted to CMS. The final NQF endorsed measures will be implemented by CMS at a later date after the conclusion of the NQF endorsement process.

2013 Technical Expert Panel (TEP) Summary Report
These documents summarize the proceedings and recommendations of the ESRD Clinical Technical Expert Panels (TEPs) convened by Arbor Research Collaborative for Health, and the University of Michigan Kidney and Epidemiology Cost Center, April 16-17, 2013 in Baltimore, MD.

This meeting included three Clinical TEPs focusing on Hemodialysis Adequacy, Mineral & Bone Disorder, and Preventive Care that met in person in Baltimore.   In addition, the Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Adequacy TEP was convened via teleconference April 11 and 17, 2013.   Convening the Clinical TEPs was one important step in the quality measure development process.   However, these reports do not include CMS’s final determination on the direction of new proposed ESRD quality measures.

The Mineral & Bone Disorder TEP recommended to leave unchanged the Hypercalcemia measure, which was added to the ESRD QIP for PY 2016 as identified in the NPRM published by CMS on July 1, 2013.   To view the Mineral & Bone Disorder TEP summary report, click here .   To view the specifications for the Hypercalcemia measure included in the PY 2016 NPRM, please see above.

To view the Hemodialysis Adequacy, Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Adequacy, and Preventive Care TEP summary reports, please visit the CMS website.   The ESRD Quality Measures TEP Summary Reports zip file can be found in Downloads box at the bottom of the Technical Expert Panel page.
