CMS Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program for Total Hip Arthroplasty Circle
The CMS Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program (IQR) recently included performance measures for elective total knee arthroplasty procedures. Under CMS guidelines, hospitals must collect and submit data on more than 50 percent of eligible patients to maximize reimbursements. This Circle streamlines patient and clinician data collection to assess improvements in quality of life by reducing pain and improving function for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty procedures. Remote collection of patient-reported pain and function statuses occurs routinely for up to 12 months following the procedure.
Observational
- Longitudinal, patient-reporting of functional and pain statuses following total knee arthroscopy procedures to inform clinical decision-making.
- Benchmark real-world patient and clinical data against data provided by other investigators in the Circle.
- Streamlined data aggregation to facilitate data submission for reimbursement.
- Turnkey service teams available to help convert everyday patient flow into consenting, real-world study subject via burden-free data collection processes.
- Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
- KOOS, Jr.
- VR-12

As specified by Provider
THIS CIRCLE IS FOR:
Provider Receiving CMS Reimbursement For TKAs
CMS will soon penalize providers performing total knee replacements which do not collect specified outcomes data from at least 50% of qualifying patients.
Other Providers Performing TKAs
Private insurance companies and other payers within and outside the U.S. will follow the CMS lead in requiring high patient compliance in reporting long-term TKA outcomes.
