Intermountain ROMS® is a CMS-approved Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
As part of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), therapists can report outcomes and quality measures on their payments to receive reimbursement from CMS. As a QCDR, ROMS can collect and submit this important information on your behalf, enabling a more streamlined process for reimbursement. When therapists use ROMS to report quality payment, they can receive up to a 7 percent Medicare bonus payment.
Measure Title: Failure to Progress (FTP): Proportion of patients failing to achieve a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) to indicate functional improvement in knee rehabilitation of patients with knee injury measured via their validated Knee Outcome Survey (KOS) score, or equivalent instrument which has undergone peer reviewed published validation and demonstrates a peer reviewed published MCID.
Measure ID: IROMS11
Measure Description: The proportion of patients failing to achieve an MCID of ten (10) points or more improvement in the KOS change score for patients with knee injury patients treated during the observation period will be reported.
Additionally, a risk-adjusted MCID proportional difference will be determined by calculating the difference between the risk model predicted and observed MCID proportion will reported for each physical therapist or physical therapy group. The risk adjustment will be calculated using a logistic regression model using: baseline KOS score, baseline pain score, age, sex, payer, and symptom duration (time from surgery or injury to baseline physical therapy visit).
These measures will serve as a PT/OT performance measure at the eligible PT/OT or PT/OT group level.
Denominator Description: The total number of all patients with knee injury evaluated and treated by a PT or OT, or PT or OT Group, during the observation window.
Numerator Description:The total number of patients with hip, leg, or ankle injuries to not achieve an MCID in their KOS change score (MCID >10) from their initial visits to their final visits in PT/OT practice or PT/OT group during the observation window.
