THE TABLES:

Key Definitions and Step by Step Instructions

slide-7
SLIDE 7

10/7/2013 7

Patient Profile Tables

  • Number and socio‐demographic

characteristics of patients served:

– Zip Code Table: by insurance status – Table 3A: by age and gender – Table 3B: by race/ethnicity /language – Table 4: by income, insurance, special populations

  • Tables 3A, 3B and 4 are completed for each

additional funding stream.

13

Who Counts: Patient Defined

  • An individual who has one or more visits

reported on Table 5 during the calendar year is considered a “patient.”

– Medical, dental, behavioral health, vision, other professional and selected enabling services

  • Whenever “patients” are counted, it is an

unduplicated count. Each patient is counted

  • nce and only once regardless of the number
  • r scope of visits.

14

slide-8
SLIDE 8

10/7/2013 8

Patient Types: What are the Differences?

  • Patient counts are unduplicated counts of

individuals who have one or more visits during the reporting year.

  • On Grant Report (only relevant if you receive multiple

330 funding streams) a patient is an individual who receives one or more visits supported by a special population grant.

  • Patients reported by Service Category are individuals

who receive one or more documented “visits” of each specific service type: medical, dental, vision, mental health, substance abuse, enabling, other professional.

ZIP CODE TABLE:

Patients by Zip Code and Insurance

16

slide-9
SLIDE 9

10/7/2013 9

Patients by Zip Code

  • Report all zip codes with 11 or more patients

– Combine the rest as “other zip codes”

  • 2013 CHANGE: Patients from each zip code are reported by

their primary medical insurance

– This is the third party MEDICAL insurance that would be billed first if the patient had a medical visit – Must be reported for ALL patients including those patients who are not being seen for medical services – There is no unknown insurance category – Totals must tie to totals patients on Table 3A and insured patients on table 4

17

Patients by Zip Code (continued)

  • Additional instructions for Special Populations

– Homeless: Use zip code of location where patient receives services if no better data exist. – Agricultural: Use zip code of the temporary housing they

  • ccupy when patient is in the area.

Table 3A: Patients by Age & Gender

  • Report total patients
  • Age is calculated as of

June 30

  • Count each patient once

and only once

  • Total on line 39 is official

total – all other totals must equal this number

20

slide-11
SLIDE 11

10/7/2013 11

Table 3B: Patients by Hispanic or Latino Ethnicity/Race/Language

  • Use Column B if patient

does not indicate “Latino” or “Hispanic.”

  • Use Line 6 only if patient

chooses two or more listed races.

– “More than one” shouldn’t be a choice; don’t use for Latino + a race to be “more than one race”

  • Use unreported, line 7 if

no race was specified.

  • Total must equal T3A.

21

Table 3B: Patients by Language

  • Report all patients who would best be served in a

language other than English including:

– Bilingual persons not fluent in medical English – Persons who are served by a bilingual provider – Persons who receive interpretation services – Persons using sign language – Persons in Puerto Rico or the Pacific where a language

  • ther than English is used
  • This is the only UDS cell that may be estimated.

TABLE 4:

Other Demographic Data

23

Table 4: Patients by Income

  • Use income as of your most recent assessment.

– Income may be self‐reported if permitted by your policy

  • Income must be from recent patient data (within

the last year) – otherwise count as unknown.

  • Total on Line 6 must = total on table 3A.

10/7/2013 13

Table 4: Patients by Medical Insurance

  • 2013 CHANGE: Break between age 17 and 18
  • Report principal 3rd party insurance for MEDICAL

care (even if patient is not a medical patient)

  • Insurance is reported as of the last visit

– Even if it did not pay for the visit – Total on Line 12 must = total for ages on Table 3A – Total for each insurance type must equal totals on zip code table

25

Table 4: Medical Insurance Reporting Categories

  • NONE/UNINSURED – patients with no insurance:

may include patients for whom health center may be reimbursed through grant or uncompensated care funds

  • MEDICAID – report all Medicaid patients including

those in managed care programs run by for‐ profits

  • MEDICARE – report all

Medicare patients including Medicare Advantage and Medi‐Medi patients

26

SLIDE 14

10/7/2013 14

Table 4: Reporting Categories Continued

  • CHIP‐RA is handled differently from state to state:

– If provided through Medicaid it is reported on Line 8b (Medicaid) – If provided through a commercial carrier outside of Medicaid it is reported on Line 10b (Other public – not private)

  • OTHER PUBLIC – Public coverage for patients for a

broad set of benefits – very uncommon

– Do not include family planning, breast and cervical programs, EPSDT, etc.

  • PRIVATE INSURANCE
  • NOTE: Workers Comp is

not medical insurance

Table 4: Managed Care Utilization

  • Completed ONLY by health centers with capitated and/or FFS

managed care (HMO) contracts.

– Patient is assigned to health center or their provider(s) – Patient MUST go to health center for listed primary care services – Do not count Primary Care Case Management patients.

  • A member month is 1 member enrolled for 1 month. Report the

sum of the monthly enrollments for 12 months (generally from HMO reports to the health center).

– In some cases, “members” might not be “patients.”

29

Table 4: Target Populations

  • 330(g) MHC Grantees – provide separate totals for migratory

and for seasonal agricultural workers on Lines 14 and 15

  • 330(h) HCH Grantees ‐ report patient’s shelter arrangement

as of first visit in 2013 (where they were housed the prior night)

  • A veteran is an individual who completed service in the

Uniformed Services of the US

30

All health centers must report total number of targeted patients (if any) on Lines 16, 23, 24 and 25.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

10/7/2013 16

Table 4: Agricultural Worker Defined

  • An agricultural worker is an individual whose PRINCIPAL

employment is in agriculture on a SEASONAL BASIS, who has been so employed within the last 24 months, and/or their dependents.

  • “Migratory” establishes temporary home(s) for such employment
  • “Seasonal” workers do not
  • Agriculture means farming, including
  • Cultivation and tillage of the soil
  • The production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any

commodity grown on, or in the land, or as an adjunct to or part of a commodity grown on or in the land; and

  • Any practice (including preparation and processing for market and

delivery to storage or to market or to carrier for transportation to market) performed by a farmer or on a farm incident to or in conjunction with the above.

31

Table 4: Homeless Defined

  • A homeless patient is any person

– known to be homeless at the time of any service or who was housed but eligible because of having been a homeless patient within 12 months of the service date.

  • Shelter arrangements (at the first visit of the year):

– “Street” includes living outdoors, in a car, in an encampment, in makeshift housing/shelter or in other places generally not deemed “ fit for human occupancy” – Persons who spent the prior night incarcerated, in an institutional treatment, a hospital or in jail should be reported based on where they intend to spend the night after their encounter/release. If they do not know, code as “street” – “Doubled up” must be temporary and unstable

32

10/7/2013 17

Table 4: Proposed 2014 Changes

  • Residents of Public Housing

– A line will be added to identify Residents of Public Housing. – Required of all health centers, not just 330(i) PHPC grantees. – Public housing will be restricted to geographically defined programs – either high rise projects or 221(d)(3) low rise programs, but not scattered site

  • r Section 8 rent subsidy programs
  • Use of patient address will be acceptable to identify the

population.

  • Col (c) – Patients

reported by service type

36

slide-19
SLIDE 19

10/7/2013 19

Full‐time Equivalent (FTE) Defined

  • WHO: All staff providing services at approved

locations

– Employees, contracted staff, residents, and volunteers – Do not count paid referral provider FTEs

  • WHERE: Report based on work performed

– FTEs can be allocated across multiple categories

  • NOTE: Medical director’s corporate time can be allocated to non‐

clinical; do not allocate administrative time of other providers

– Line 22 Other Professional includes Chiropractic, acupuncture, PT, OT, nutrition, podiatry, etc. – Line 29a Other Related include non‐health care staff (e.g., WIC, childcare, housing, fitness, job training, etc.)

37

Calculating FTEs

  • HOW: FTE is actual for the year, not as of last

day

– 1.0 FTE is equivalent to one person working full‐ time (as defined by health center) for one year

  • Providers: Based on employment contracts
  • Based on hours paid including vacation, sick, continuing

education, etc.

– Calculate FTE for persons working part‐time or part‐year (e.g, 6 months full‐time = 0.50 FTE, 9 months half‐time = 0.375 FTE )

38

slide-20
SLIDE 20

10/7/2013 20

39

Calculating FTEs for Hourly Work

  • WHO: Volunteers, locums, residents, on‐call

providers, etc. who do not receive PTO benefits.

  • HOW:

– Calculate the number of hours the comparable position works

  • E.g., Provider receives 160 hours vacation, 96 hours sick, 40

hours continuing education, 80 hours holidays = 1704 hours worked

– Calculate number of hours person being evaluated actually works

  • E.g., Volunteer worked 30 days @ 8 hours = 240

– Calculate and report FTE

  • hours worked (240) divided by FTE work hours (1704) = .14 FTE

(240/1704 = 0.1408)

Visit Defined

  • WHAT: Face to face, one to one between

patient and provider

  • For behavioral health ONLY group and telemedicine

may be counted in billed

  • No group health education, or group medical visits.

– Licensed provider for medical, dental, vision, etc.

  • Include volunteer and contracted provider

– The service must be charted – The provider must be acting independently – The provider must be using professional judgment unique to their training and education

40

slide-21
SLIDE 21

10/7/2013 21

Visit Defined ‐ continued

  • Only 1 visit/patient/provider type/day

– Unless 2 different providers at 2 different sites

  • Only 1 visit/provider/patient/day regardless of the

number of services provided

  • COUNT paid referrals; visits when following current

patients in a nursing home, hospital or at home

  • DO NOT COUNT immunization only, lab only, dental

varnishing, mass screenings, health fairs, outreach or pharmacy visits

  • Count visits provided by both paid and volunteer staff

41

Patients by Service Category Defined

  • Total number of patients of that type of

service seen in the program year

  • A patient may be counted ONLY ONCE in EACH

category regardless of the number of visits.

  • Patients provided with multiple types of

service MUST be counted in each category.

– E.g. A patient may counted as both a medical and a dental patient.

Table 5A: Tenure for Selected Health Center Staff

  • Data reported are generally available in health

center Personnel or Human Resource (HR) employment records.

– Starting point will be last year’s work sheet.

  • Deleting staff who have left and adding new staff

– No new data over and above that needed for HR management should be necessary. – TENURE may be measured in a form differently than the way SENIORITY information is stated. – Virtually all of the work for this can be done well in advance of the submission date.

36

Table 5A: Tenure

  • WHO: Individuals working

at the health center

– Full‐ and part‐time, part‐ year, contract, NHSC – Locums, volunteers, on‐ call, residents

  • WHAT: Combined tenure

– In months (not FTE) – As of last work day of year – By job title (consistent with T5)

  • NOTE: Col b may not = a

10/7/2013 23

Who to include in Census

  • WHAT: Snap shot of selected clinical and key

management staff who worked at the health center

  • n December 31.
  • WHO:
  • Clinical staff:

– Physicians – NP, PA, CNM providers – Dental providers – Mental Health providers – Vision providers

45

  • Note: Line numbers remain the same as those used for Table 5

for all clinical and non‐clinical staff.

  • Key Non‐clinical staff:

– CEO / Executive Director – CFO / Fiscal Officer – CIO / IT Director – CMO / Medical Director

46

Tenure for Full and Part Time Staff

  • Regular employees and persons on regular

contracts, who are employed at the time of the census are each counted as 1 in column A.

– Regardless of when they first started working – Those who are not working that day but who are scheduled to work before and after that day are counted as 1 – Those who are no longer employed on that day are not counted on this table – Those with two jobs (e.g., ObGyn + CMO) are counted as 1 in each category

slide-24
SLIDE 24

10/7/2013 24

47

Tenure for Other Service Provider Arrangements

  • Volunteers, locums, on‐call providers,

residents, etc. who are scheduled to work before and after 12/31 are each counted as 1 in column C.

– Regardless of how much time they work if they are considered to be a part of the regular staff they are counted. Some examples include:

  • Specialists who are usually present at least once each

month or quarter

  • Primary care providers present during a specific season

48

Tenure Months

  • Months are calculated from the date person was most

recently hired into that position.

– Continuous months from the start date through December

  • f the reporting year

– Rounded up to the closest whole number

  • E.g., Pediatrician hired 8/1/02, promoted to CMO on 9/15/10, and

serves in both roles ‐ Count 137 months as pediatrician and 40 months as CMO

  • E.g., COO is hired 11/10/88, promoted to Deputy Director 7/12/97

and then promoted to CEO 6/22/13, retaining the obligations of the Deputy Director ‐ Count 7 months as CEO only

  • E.g., CEO hired 5/15/10 to fill the role of CIO, CFO, and CEO –Count

44 months as CEO, 44 months as CFO, 44 as CIO

51

The ICD‐10 Transition

  • CMS mandates that ICD‐9 codes are to be

used through 9/30/14, and that ICD‐10 codes will be used after that date.

  • ICD‐10 codes (only) must be used for the CY

2015 UDS report to be submitted in 2016.

  • BPHC is reviewing options for working through

the transition.

– BPHC encourages timely transition in accordance with CMS requirements. – BPHC will release UDS reporting guidance shortly.

will be counted as one patient in column B

– A patient may have a diagnosis and a service on the same day

  • E.g. – a patient seen for their diabetes and provided

with a flu shot – both are counted.

Process Measures

  • “Process

measures”: IF patients receive timely routine and preventive care, THEN we can expect improved health

61

  • Access to prenatal care (first prenatal

visit in 1st trimester)

  • Childhood immunizations
  • Cervical cancer screening
  • Adolescent weight screening & follow

up

  • Adult weight screening & follow‐up
  • Tobacco use screening
  • Tobacco cessation counseling for

tobacco users

  • Asthma drug therapy
  • Cholesterol treatment (lipid therapy for

coronary artery disease patients)

  • Heart attack/stroke treatment (aspirin

therapy for ischemic vascular disease patients)

  • Colorectal cancer screening

Section A: Prenatal Patients by Age

  • Report all patients who received prenatal care

during the year by age category.

– Section A is ONLY completed by health centers with Prenatal Programs – Report all women served regardless of whether they delivered, including women whose only service in 2013 was their delivery – Include women who transferred or were “risked out”, as well as women who were delivered by another provider – Do not include patients who may have had tests, vitamins, assessments or education, but did not have their initial clinical visit with the clinic’s obstetrical provider

62

slide-32
SLIDE 32

10/7/2013 32

Section B: Access to Prenatal Care

  • Trimester of entry into prenatal care

– Section B is ONLY completed by health centers with Prenatal Programs – For all prenatal patients reported in Section A, indicate what trimester they began care and whether it was with the health center or another provider – “Entry into prenatal care” occurs when the patient has had a visit with a physician or midlevel provider who initiates prenatal care with a complete physical exam (i.e., not a pregnancy test, nurse assessment, etc.)

63

Prenatal Care Count: 2014 Proposed Changes

  • All Health Centers will report on all pregnant

MEDICAL patients who were provided any of the following required services:

– (2014 Change) no prenatal care BUT REFERRED FOR PRENATAL CARE and delivery, as well as previously reported: – full perinatal services through delivery – some or all prenatal care and then referred for delivery – some prenatal care and then referred out for late prenatal care and delivery – some prenatal care and then transferred because of risk status

Prenatal Care Don’t Count: 2014 Proposed Changes

  • Health Centers will NOT report on pregnant

patients who:

– Were not counted as medical patients during the calendar year (e.g., dental only, health education

  • nly, nutrition only.)

– Were known to be pregnant, but who never sought care or referral for pregnancy including those who had their own obstetrical provider and those who choose to terminate their pregnancy – Those who only requested a pregnancy test and did not return for followup

65

Section C: Childhood Immunizations

  • Col (a) Universe: All children who

– turned 2 years and 364 days in 2013 (born between 1/2/10 and 1/1/11) AND – who had at least one medical visit in 2013 AND – were first ever seen prior to their 3rd birthday.

  • This is the “catch‐up” schedule. Technically –

asks about children who were immunized before they turned 3.

– CDC / AAP still recommends immunization by age 2

(no exclusions)

Childhood Immunizations

  • Col (b): Universe or sample of 70 patients
  • Col (c) Compliance: Number of children in Col(b)

who, before their 3rd birthday are fully co mpliant , i.e., for each disease listed on the next slide they (1) received vaccine*, or (2) had evidence of the disease or (3) have a contraindication for vaccine

67 * Hepatitis A, Rotavirus, and Influenza immunizations not measured for compliance beginning CY 2013.

Required Vaccines

  • Fully compliant means compliant for each of 11

diseases normally vaccinated against with:

– 4 DTP/DTaP, – 3 IPV, – 1 MMR, – 2 HIb, – 3 HepB, – 1 VZV (Varicella) – 4 Pneumococcal conjugate

  • 2013 CHANGE: Removed HepA, rotavirus and

influenza

– CDC / AAP still recommends these vaccines

10/7/2013 35

Assessing Immunization Compliance

  • Notes in the medical record indicating that the patient

received the immunization “at delivery” or “in the hospital” may be counted as evidence of compliance.

  • A note that “patient is up‐to‐date” with immunizations

that does not list the date of each immunization and the name of the provider does not constitute sufficient evidence of compliance.

  • Good faith efforts to get a child immunized which

nonetheless fail remain “non‐compliant” including

– Parental failure to bring in the patient – Parents who refuse for religious reasons – Parents who refuse because of beliefs about vaccines

who received one or more documented Pap tests (regardless of where performed) during the measurement year or during the two years prior to the measurement year OR, for women who received a Pap test accompanied with an HPV test after age 30, the test was done during the measurement year or the four years prior

71

Assessing Cervical Cancer Compliance

  • Count as “in compliance” a medical record with

– A copy of the test result (your lab or another lab) – An evidence based entry in the patient’s chart which includes the provider, test date and result, which was entered by your provider or clinic staff

  • A note that “patient was referred” or “patient reported

receiving pap test” does not constitute sufficient evidence

  • f pap test compliance.
  • Even if a good faith effort was made to get the patient

tested, she is “non‐compliant,” even if she:

– refused to have test – failed to return for a scheduled test – claims to have had one but cannot document it
