Tobacco Cessation Counseling
Description:
Our tobacco cessation counseling measure uses claims data to determine the percentage of patients in our population (Adult Asthma, Pediatric Asthma, and COPD) who were identified as being tobacco users with at least one claim for tobacco cessation counseling in the measurement year. A higher proportion indicates better performance.
Numerator/Denominator:
- Denominator: All asthma patients, regardless of severity, 13 years and older and all COPD patients 40 years and older identified as tobacco users or as having received cessation counseling in the measurement year.
- Numerator: All patient in the denominator that have at least one claim for tobacco cessation counseling in the measurement year.
