2) Percentage of that total with glycemic treatment goals – Percentage of outpatient Medicare beneficiaries, who are diabetic and prescribed antidiabetic agents, with documented glycemic treatment goals. The goals must encompass patient-specific factors, including at least: a) age, b) comorbidities, and c) risk for hypoglycemia; AND
3) Annual assessment – Documented evidence of annual assessment for patients receiving glycemic treatment services (e.g., list of patients flagged for reassessment the following year, dated chart notes in an electronic health record).
