1. Panniculectomy Performance Measure Public Comment

ASPS has hired Encompass Medical Partners to develop a set of performance measures supported by the outcomes from TOPS data.  A literature review to support the measures was conducted, and they were vetted by the Quality and Performance Measures Committe 8e Measures Work Group.  The intent is that all measures will be implemented in the 2018 QCDR.  However, the panniculectomy measures will be utilized for accountability reporting and the abdominoplasty measures will be for quality improvement only.
