Clinician Performance on Three Wound Care Quality Measures Now Included on CMS Physician Compare Website

Three wound care quality measures developed by the Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders and the US Wound Registry (USWR) are now included on Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Physician Compare website, following a summertime content update that expanded quality performance data on the site. The USWR quality measures selected for Physician Compare reporting are:

1. “Adequate off-loading of diabetic foot ulcer at each treatment visit.”
2. “Adequate compression of venous leg ulcers at each treatment visit.”
3. “Vascular assessment of patients with chronic leg ulcers.”
