Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission (04/01/2015 to 06/30/2015 Dates of Service) Pilot Measure Specifications Helpline: 612-746-4522 | E-mail: [email protected] | MNCM Data Portal: https://data.mncm.org/login © MN Community Measurement, 2015. All rights reserved. Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission Measurement Specifications Description The average change in functional status within 12 weeks of a treatment start date for adult patients experiencing acute or sub-acute low back pain. Methodology Population identification is accomplished via a query of a practice management system or Electronic Medical Record (EMR) to identify the population of eligible patients (denominator). Data elements are either extracted from an EMR system or abstracted through medical record review. Full population data is required. Rationale In the United States, the lifetime prevalence for back pain is approximately 80%, with a 3 month prevalence rate of 28%. According to the CDC, the National Health Interview Survey in 2012 showed the highest 3 month prevalence is in adults ages 45-64 (32.3%). In 2005, the CDC study based on census data reported that 7.6 million Americans had a disability related to back pain, making back pain the second leading cause of disability in the country. Back pain comes to a great expense to our country. Back pain is the sixth most costly health condition in the United States. According to the CDC, in 2010, back pain was in the top five acute principal reasons for a primary care office visit. The healthcare costs associated with back pain account for more than $12 billion per year in the United States. Americans spend approximately $50 to $100 billion on back pain each year. This total represents the more readily available costs for medical care, workers compensation payments and time lost from work. Measurement Period Pilot Testing measurement period for treatment start dates will be a fixed 3month period: 04/01/2015 to 06/30/2015 with allowance for subsequent follow up to occur through 09/21/2015.

Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission Measurement Specifications Initial Patient Population Patients who meet each of the following criteria are included in the population: • Patient aged 18 years or older at the start of the measurement period. • Patient had an outpatient face to face encounter (Table 1) with an eligible provider in an eligible specialty with a low back pain related ICD-9 diagnosis code (Table 2) in the primary position. Treatment Start Date: The earliest date of service for an outpatient face to face encounter during the measurement period with a principal diagnosis of low back pain.

Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission Measurement Specifications Measure Calculation – Functional Status Change within 12 weeks Outcome measure Measures the average change in functional status within the first 12 weeks of treatment for patients experiencing acute or sub-acute low back pain • • • • • Step 1: For each eligible patient, obtain the ODI v2.1a result from the treatment start date Step 2: For each eligible patient, obtain the most recent ODI v2.1a result occurring on or prior to 12 weeks after the treatment start date. Step 3: For each eligible patient, calculate the change in functional status o ODIstart – ODI12weeks Step 4: Sum the change in functional status for all eligible patients Step 5: Divide by the number of eligible patients Measure Calculation – ODI Administration at Treatment Start Supporting process measure The percentage of eligible patients with an Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) v2.1a result recorded in the medical record on the treatment start date. Measure Calculation – Follow Up ODI Administration within 12 weeks Supporting process measure The percentage of eligible patients with an Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) v2.1a result recorded in the medical record on or prior to 12 weeks after the treatment start date. Measure Calculation – ODI Administration at BOTH Treatment Start AND within 12 weeks Supporting process measure The percentage of eligible patients with an Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) v2.1a result recorded in the medical record on BOTH the treatment start date AND on or prior to 12 weeks after the treatment start date.

Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission Measurement Specifications Appendix A: Functional Status (Oswestry Disability Index, v2.1a) Ideally tools are completed by the patient at the time of treatment; however office visits are not required for tool completion. Any provider or office staff may administer the initial and follow-up instruments. Modes of acceptable administration Administration Mode In person/during visit Acceptable Via mail Acceptable Via telephone Not Acceptable* Administer electronically ** Acceptable *Instrument has not been validated for telephone administration. **When administering electronically, the tools must be kept intact including content, order and scoring. Electronic examples: Email, patient portal, iPad/tablet, patient kiosk. Other Activities Store results in EMR Must seek approval for other uses (examples: Research, publication, use of tool beyond measure population, etc.) Acceptable Yes Regardless of the successful administration of the ODI, all patients who meet the initial patient population criteria after upfront exclusions must be included in the data submission file. For example: • A patient who has no initial or follow up functional status score must still be included in the data submission file. • A patient who has either an initial or a follow up functional status score must still be included in the data submission file. • A patient who has initial and follow up functional status scores must be included in the data submission file. The MNCM Data Portal will calculate process measures based on the submission to determine the rate of administration of the instruments at treatment start date and in follow up.

Acute and Sub-Acute Low Back Pain Functional Status Outcome Measure 2015 Direct Data Submission Measurement Specifications Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) version 2.1a This is a patient completed survey consisting of 10 structured questions asking the patient to describe the impact of their low back pain and function in the following areas: pain, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life (if applicable), social life, and ability to travel. More information can be found at http://www.proqolid.org/instruments/oswestry_disability_index_odi?fromSearch=yes&text=yes. The MNCM Data Portal will evaluate all incoming responses, if eight of the ten questions are completed by the patient, the assessment tool can be used and the MNCM Data Portal will calculate a score. The MNCM Data Portal will score appropriately, recalculating the denominator as recommended by the developer, Jeremy Fairbank. If an ODI was administered and any answers were skipped, leave the correlated fields blank in the data file. Do not replace a blank response with a zero as this is a valid response in the instrument. If a patient selects more than one response to a question, submit the highest (worst) response. References ODI © Jeremy Fairbank, 1980. All Rights Reserved.
