Rationale:

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major driver of morbidity, mortality and high healthcare costs in the United States. Currently, 37 million American adults have CKD and millions of others are at increased risk (National Kidney Foundation [NKF], 2022), with an estimated population prevalence growing to nearly 17% among Americans aged 30 years and older by the year 2030 (Saran et al., 2019; Hoerger et al., 2015). Total Medicare spending in 2016 on both CKD and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) was over $114 billion, comprising 23% of total Medicare fee-for-service spending overall with costs increasing exponentially with advancing CKD (Saran et al., 2019; Nichols et al., 2020). In the US from 2002-2016, the burden of CKD, defined as years of life lost, years living with disability, disability-adjusted life years, and deaths, outpaced changes in the burden of disease for other conditions (Bowe et al., 2018). Patients with CKD are readmitted to the hospital more frequently than those without diagnosed CKD (Saran et al., 2019). CKD is the 9th leading cause of death in the US and is the fastest growing non-communicable disease in terms of in burden largely due to death (Hoerger et al., 2015; Bowe et al., 2018). This public health issue is driven largely by the impact of diabetes—the most common comorbid risk factor for CKD (Saran et al., 2019; Bowe et al., 2018). The intent of this process measure is to improve rates of guideline-concordant kidney health evaluation in patients with diabetes to more consistently identify and potentially treat or delay progression of CKD in this high-risk population. Annual kidney health evaluation in patients with diabetes to determine risk of CKD using eGFR and uACR is recommended by clinical practice guidelines (American Disability Association, 2022; de Boer, 2022; NKF, 2007; NKF, 2012) and has been a focus of various local and national health care quality improvement initiatives, including Healthy People 2030 (Healthy People 2030, 2023). However, performance of these tests in patients with diabetes remains low, with rates that vary across Medicare (41.8%) and private insurers (49.0%) (Saran et al., 2019; Alfego et al., 2021; Stempneiwicz et al., 2021). Low rates of detection of CKD in a population of patients with diabetes have been demonstrated to be associated with low patient awareness of their own kidney health status (Szczech et al., 2014). Indeed, 90% of individuals with CKD are unaware of their condition due to under-recognition and under-diagnosis (Saran et al., 2019; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023). Currently, an individual’s lifetime probability of developing CKD is relatively high, reaching 54% for someone currently aged 30-49 years (Hoerger et al., 2015). Regular kidney health evaluations, utilizing both eGFR and uACR, provide an opportunity to improve identification and potential reversal of worsening kidney function, particularly in high risk populations, such as those with diabetes.

Clinical recommendation statement:

The following evidence statements are quoted verbatim from the referenced clinical guidelines and other sources, where applicable: At annually, urinary albumin (e.g., spot urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio) and estimated glomerular filtration rate should be assessed in people with type 1 diabetes with duration of >= 5 years and in all people with type 2 diabetes regardless of treatment. B (American Diabetes Association Professional Practice Committee, 2023) Patients with diabetes should be screened annually for Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). Initial screening should commence: - 5 years after the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes; (A) or - From diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. (B) Screening should include: - Measurements of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR) in a spot urine sample; (B) - Measurement of serum creatinine and estimation of GFR. (B) (National Kidney Foundation [NKF], 2007; NKF, 2012)

Guidance (Usage): This measure assesses performance of a comprehensive kidney evaluation in adults aged 18-85. This measure does not preclude or discourage the use of regular laboratory testing for CKD in patients outside of the age range (patients under 18 years and those over 85 years of age). This eCQM is a patient-based measure. This FHIR-based measure has been derived from the QDM-based measure: CMS951v3. 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).

    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.
    If the input is a Timing, an error will be thrown indicating that Timing calculations are not implemented. Any other input will reslt in a null DateTime Interval
