Disclaimer:

  • One measure is not an indication of a facility's quality. Sometimes a smaller population can make a measure move pretty drastically from quarter to quarter, so don't be alarmed if you see a dip or a spike.
  • If there is no data included with the description of the measures below, it may be because your facility doesn't offer that particular service or treatment.
  • Some data is reported every month or quarter and some is reported once a year. Occasionally, a measure is no longer used. But we continue to provide the data from past years as a reference.
  • The dates we report data may vary by measure. Measuring quality, safety, access and patient experience requires time to ensure data is valid and accurate.
  • We report the same Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set ( Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS) used by many civilian health care practices to monitor quality of care provided in the MHS. Before posting HEDIS data, a National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified auditor reviews and approves the measure process and data.
  • We report some of the measures in Calendar Year (CY) and some measures in Fiscal Year (FY). Calendar years begin on January 1st. Fiscal years begin on October 1st.

Patient Safety

There are many factors the Military Health System tracks related to Patient Safety. Additional measures will be added here as they are made available.

  • Joint Patient Safety Reporting

    You expect us to keep you safe when you’re in one of our hospitals or clinics. One way we do that is by reporting and reviewing Patient Safety Events. That way, we can identify and fix potentially unsafe conditions in our hospitals and clinics. Patient Safety Events are any avoidable event that could result in harm to a patient. This includes what we call "near miss" or “close call” events. These are events that never reaches the patient, but could have resulted in harm under different circumstances. All facilities in the MHS Click to closeDirect CareDirect care refers to military hospitals and clinics, also known as “military treatment facilities” and “MTFs.”Direct Care system voluntarily report their patient safety events to the MHS Patient Safety Program. Unlike most other health systems, we also report events in our dental program. This is because the MHS integrates dental into its medical system. More reporting doesn’t necessarily mean that a facility is less safe. It actually provides MHS with data to learn from and make improvements. Joint Patient Safety Reporting (JPSR) data are updated in April for the previous calendar year.

  • Sentinel Events

    We encourage our medical staffs to report all types of patient safety events – injuries, illnesses, and especially deaths. Sentinel Events are those that result in harm or death to a patient. They require immediate reporting, response, and investigation. This measure is a facility specific one that shows you what sentinel events occurred in individual hospitals or clinics. Your military hospital or clinic may not be on this list. Some don’t provide services that can result in a Sentinel Event. Others may not have enough data to report in a way that protects patient privacy. Data are updated in April of each year and cover the previous calendar year.

Patient Satisfaction / Access

There are many factors the Military Health System tracks related to Patient Satisfaction and Access. For your convenience we have categorized these in the below sections:

  • Access to Acute Care Appointments

    Seeing your provider in a timely manner is important to you—and to us. Our goal is for you get the right level of care, at the right time, by the right provider.

    What we measure

    We measure the average number of days it takes to be seen for an acute medical condition. If the military hospital or clinic can't get you an appointment with your primary care manager within the access standards, they will get you an appointment with another provider. We monitor this metric on a monthly basis and make more appointments available when the measure shows we need to.

  • Primary Care Manager Continuity

    When your provider team is familiar with your medical history, it's good for you, especially if you have more complex medical issues. Our Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) help you see the same provider team. Your PCMH team aims to keep you healthy by suggesting preventive services that may prevent more complex problems later. We track this measure to find out how often you are seen by your assigned primary care manager (PCM).

    What we measure

    We measure the percent of appointments where the patient saw their own provider. We use our electronic health record to monitor which provider you see. We understand that there may be times when you want to be seen quickly – and don’t need to see your PCM, but we want to make sure you're seen by your primary medical team when you want. Ask for your provider by name. If we can’t get you an appointment with your provider, we'll try to get you seen by a provider on the same team. They know your medical needs and history. And, if you aren’t concerned about continuity of provider in some circumstances, let us know that, too.

  • Provider Communication

    It is important that providers communicate clearly and effectively with patients, their families, and caregivers. We want to ensure everyone understands and can use the information we provide to make healthy choices and good decisions about their healthcare. When provider-patient communication is effective, adherence to treatment recommendations increases, better health outcomes are achieved, and the patients and their families’ satisfaction with health care improves.

    What we measure

    Patients reported how well their provider explained things clearly, listened, showed respect, and whether they spent enough time with them. Please complete and return any surveys you receive to us. We want to know what you think and to learn what we are doing well and how we can improve.

    This measure is reported quarterly. If the data appears to be a little delayed, please remember, it takes time to make sure the information is statistically valid in order to make improvements in our system that will benefit our patients.

  • Low Back Pain Imaging

    Evidence shows that many patients diagnosed with low back pain receive excessive medical tests that can lead to unnecessary worry and unneeded surgery. For the majority of individuals who experience severe low back pain, pain improves after two weeks. Avoiding imaging tests like x-ray, MRI, and CT scans can prevent harm to patients and reduce health care costs. Data shown for this Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS measure is the most recently approved by NCQA.

    What we measure

    We measure the percentage of adults age 18 to 50 years with a primary diagnosis of low back pain who didn’t have an imaging test (e.g., plain X-ray, MRI or CT scan) within 28 days of the diagnosis. A higher score means a better performance. Talk with your provider about alternatives to unnecessary medical tests for low back pain, and discuss alternatives to surgery for addressing your pain.

  • Strep Test

    Pharyngitis, or inflammation of the throat, is the only condition among upper respiratory infections where your provider may determine that antibiotic use is appropriate. U.S. medical leaders recommend that individuals diagnosed with group A streptococcus (strep) pharyngitis be treated with antibiotics. A strep test is the definitive test of group A strep pharyngitis. Data shown for this Click to closeHEDISThe Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is a registered trademark of the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).HEDIS measure is the most recently approved by NCQA.

    What we measure

    We measure the percentage of enrollees ages 3 months of age and older, who were diagnosed with pharyngitis, received a strep test and were given an antibiotic. If you think you may have strep, ask for the test. If the test comes back positive and your child has strep, they should get an antibiotic. But, if the test is negative, an antibiotic isn’t needed.
