Registry Process No Effective Clinical Care Dermatology, Rheumatology, General Practice/Family Medicine

Measure Description

Percentage of patients whose providers are ensuring active tuberculosis prevention either through yearly negative standard tuberculosis screening tests or are reviewing the patient’s history to determine if they have had appropriate management for a recent or prior positive test

Instruction

This measure is to be reported a minimum of once per performance period for patients with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis seen during the performance period. This measure may be reported by eligible clinicians who perform the quality actions described in the measure based on the services provided and the measure-specific denominator coding.
