Rationale:

Colorectal cancer represents eight percent of all new cancer cases in the United States. In 2020, there were an estimated 147,950 new cases of colorectal cancer and an estimated 53,200 deaths attributed to it. According to the National Cancer Institute, about 4.2 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer at some point during their lifetimes. For most adults, older age is the most important risk factor for colorectal cancer, although being male and black are also associated with higher incidence and mortality. Colorectal cancer is most frequently diagnosed among people 65 to 74 years old (Howlader et al., 2020). Screening can be effective for finding precancerous lesions (polyps) that could later become malignant, and for detecting early cancers that can be more easily and effectively treated. Precancerous polyps usually take about 10 to 15 years to develop into colorectal cancer, and most can be found and removed before turning into cancer. The five-year relative survival rate for people whose colorectal cancer is found in the early stage before it has spread is about 90 percent (SEER, 2022).

Clinical recommendation statement:

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021) recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 45 to 49 years. This is a Grade B recommendation (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2021). The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (2021) recommends screening for colorectal cancer in adults aged 50 to 75 years. This is a Grade A recommendation (U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2021). Appropriate screenings are defined by any one of the following: - Fecal occult blood test (annually) - Stool DNA (sDNA) with FIT test (every 3 years) - Flexible sigmoidoscopy (every 5 years) - Computed tomographic (CT) colonography (every 5 years) - Colonoscopy (every 10 years)

Guidance (Usage): Do not count digital rectal exams (DRE), fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs) performed in an office setting or performed on a sample collected via DRE. Please note the measure may include screenings performed outside the age range of patients referenced in the initial population. Screenings that occur prior to the measurement period are valid to meet measure criteria. This eCQM is a patient-based measure. This FHIR-based measure has been derived from the QDM-based measure: CMS130v13. Please refer to the HL7 QI-Core Implementation Guide (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU4.1.1/) for more information on QI-Core and mapping recommendations from QDM to QI-Core 4.1.1 (http://hl7.org/fhir/us/qicore/STU4.1.1/qdm-to-qicore.html).
Population Criteria: Stratifier Criteria:
654a405f78418140875e351c
Initial Population: Patients 46-75 years of age by the end of the measurement period with a visit during the measurement period
Denominator: Equals Initial Population
Denominator Exclusion: Exclude patients who are in hospice care for any part of the measurement period. Exclude patients with a diagnosis or past history of total colectomy or colorectal cancer. Exclude patients 66 and older by the end of the measurement period with an indication of frailty for any part of the measurement period who also meet any of the following advanced illness criteria: - Advanced illness diagnosis during the measurement period or the year prior - OR taking dementia medications during the measurement period or the year prior Exclude patients 66 and older by the end of the measurement period who are living long term in a nursing home any time on or before the end of the measurement period. Exclude patients receiving palliative care for any part of the measurement period.
Numerator: Patients with one or more screenings for colorectal cancer. Appropriate screenings are defined by any one of the following criteria: - Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) during the measurement period - Stool DNA (sDNA) with FIT test during the measurement period or the two years prior to the measurement period - Flexible sigmoidoscopy during the measurement period or the four years prior to the measurement period - CT Colonography during the measurement period or the four years prior to the measurement period - Colonoscopy during the measurement period or the nine years prior to the measurement period
Stratum: Patients age 46-49 by the end of the measurement period
Stratum: Patients age 50-75 by the end of the measurement period

    representations for timing-valued elements in QICore, allowing this function to be used across any resource.
    The input can be provided as a DateTime, Quantity, Interval<DateTime> or Interval<Quantity>.
    The intent of this function is to provide a clear and concise mechanism to treat single
    elements that have multiple possible representations as intervals so that logic doesn't have to account
    for the variability. More complex calculations (such as medication request period or dispense period
    calculation) need specific guidance and consideration. That guidance may make use of this function, but
    the focus of this function is on single element calculations where the semantics are unambiguous.
    If the input is a DateTime, the result a DateTime Interval beginning and ending on that DateTime.
    If the input is a Quantity, the quantity is expected to be a calendar-duration interpreted as an Age,
    and the result is a DateTime Interval beginning on the Date the patient turned that age and ending immediately before one year later.
    If the input is a DateTime Interval, the result is the input.
    If the input is a Quantity Interval, the quantities are expected to be calendar-durations interpreted as an Age, and the result
    is a DateTime Interval beginning on the date the patient turned the age given as the start of the quantity interval, and ending
    immediately before one year later than the date the patient turned the age given as the end of the quantity interval.
