New Performance, Quality, and Structural Measures for the Diagnosis and Management of HBP in the Outpatient Care Setting* Measure No. Measure Title Attribution Rationale for Creating New Measure PM-1a ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP control SBP <140 mmHg (harmonizing measure) Healthcare provider (healthcare provider, physician group practice, accountable care organization, clinically integrated network, health plan, integrated delivery system) Harmonizes with current performance measure Controlling High Blood Pressure for ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP currently in widespread use. PM-1b ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP control SBP <130 mmHg (enhancing measure) Healthcare provider (healthcare provider, physician group practice, accountable care organization, clinically integrated network, health plan, integrated delivery system) Harmonizes with current performance measure Controlling High Blood Pressure for ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP currently in widespread use and adds lower target for further risk reduction. PM-2 ACC/AHA stage 1 HBP control SBP <130 mmHg (harmonizing measure) Healthcare provider (healthcare provider, physician group practice, accountable care organization, clinically integrated network, health plan, integrated delivery system) Harmonizes with current performance measure Controlling High Blood Pressure for ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP currently in widespread use. Adds emphasis on including the ACC/AHA stage 1 HBP population. PM-3 ACC/AHA stage 2 and stage 1 HBP control SBP <130 mmHg (composite measure combining PM-1b and Healthcare provider (healthcare provider, physician group practice, accountable care organization, clinically integrated network, health plan, integrated delivery system) Harmonizes with current performance measure Controlling High Blood Pressure for ACC/AHA stage 2 HBP currently in widespread use. Adds emphasis on including the ACC/AHA stage 1 HBP population and combines both ACC/AHA stage 2 and stage 1 HBP populations.
