AAB — Avoidance of Antibiotics for Acute Bronchitis/Bronchiolitis¶
Denominator: Members with an acute bronchitis/bronchiolitis episode in 2021 (ICD-10 J20.x, J21.x).
Numerator: Members who were not dispensed an antibiotic within the −3 to +3 day window around the index diagnosis. Higher is better — a high rate signals good antibiotic stewardship.
Direction: Higher is better.
Data caveat: The NCQA HEDIS antibiotic NDC value set is not bundled with the CMS synthetic data. This query uses a placeholder list of common antibiotic labeler prefixes. Replace with the official NCQA list in production.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 825 bronchitis episodes in 2021. Numerator: 811 episodes without an antibiotic dispensing in the −3 to +3 day window. Rate: 98.3%
98.3% avoided antibiotics — well above real-world HEDIS averages (typically 65–80%). This is expected: Synthea doesn't model antibiotic over-prescribing realistically, and the placeholder NDC list only captures a subset of actual antibiotic dispensings. The denominator and window logic are correct; the rate would shift meaningfully with the full NCQA antibiotic value set against real claims.

ABA — Adult BMI Assessment¶
Status: Not implemented — dropped in Phase 6.
Denominator: Members aged 18–74 with at least one qualifying outpatient visit in 2021.
Numerator (intended): Members with a BMI documentation code (ICD-10 Z68.x) recorded at the visit.
Why dropped: Z68.x BMI documentation codes are absent from the CMS synthetic dataset. Synthea does not generate these codes. The denominator (341 members with qualifying visits) built correctly, but the numerator returned 0. This is the same pattern seen in BCS (mammography) and LBP (lumbar imaging) — Synthea is sparse on procedure documentation codes.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 341 members with qualifying outpatient visits (ages 18–74). Numerator: 0 — Z68.x BMI documentation codes are completely absent from the CMS synthetic dataset.
Not implementable. Dropped from the measure set. The denominator logic is correct and would work against real claims data.
AMR — Asthma Medication Ratio¶
Denominator: Members aged 5–64 with persistent asthma (ICD-10 J45.x) in 2021 who had at least one asthma medication dispensed.
Numerator: Members with a controller-to-total medication ratio ≥ 0.50.
AMR = controller_units / (controller_units + reliever_units)
Direction: Higher is better. Overreliance on short-acting bronchodilators (relievers) at the expense of inhaled corticosteroids (controllers) drives poor asthma outcomes.
Data caveat: Uses placeholder NDC labeler-prefix lists for controller (fluticasone, budesonide, beclomethasone, mometasone) and reliever (albuterol, levalbuterol) drug classes. Replace with the NCQA HEDIS value sets in production.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 59 members with asthma (J45.x, ages 5–64) and at least one classified asthma medication dispensed in 2021. Numerator: 46 members with a controller/total ratio ≥ 0.50. Rate: 78.0%
Of the 59 denominator members: 37 had controller fills only (ratio = 1.0), 9 had both controller and reliever fills, and 13 had reliever fills only (ratio = 0.0). The denominator is smaller than the 157 asthma PDE members identified in Phase 5 because the placeholder NDC lists only classify dispensings from specific labeler prefixes — members whose asthma meds come from other manufacturers are excluded. The 78% rate and controller-heavy distribution are directionally plausible; real-world HEDIS AMR rates typically run 50–70%.

COL — Colorectal Cancer Screening¶
Denominator: Members aged 45–75 as of Dec 31, 2021, alive at year end.
Numerator: Members with a qualifying colorectal screening in 2020 or 2021 — colonoscopy (45378, 45380, 45385) or FOBT/FIT (G0328, 82270, 82274).
Direction: Higher is better.
HEDIS allows a 1-year look-back, so claims from 2020 count toward the 2021 measurement year numerator.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 4,860 members aged 45–75 in 2021. Numerator: 1,291 members with a qualifying colorectal screening in 2020–2021. Rate: 26.6%
The 2-year look-back added substantially to the numerator compared to the Phase 5 single-year estimate of 724. Real-world Medicare COL rates typically run 70–75%, so the 26.6% reflects Synthea's sparse screening code coverage — colonoscopy and FOBT HCPCS codes are generated for some members but not at realistic population rates.

FUH — Follow-Up After Hospitalization for Mental Illness¶
Denominator: Members aged 6+ discharged from an inpatient stay with a principal mental illness diagnosis (ICD-10 F20–F99) in 2021.
Numerator: Two rates:
- 7-day: Members with any outpatient or carrier follow-up visit within 7 days of discharge.
- 30-day: Members with any outpatient or carrier follow-up visit within 30 days of discharge.
Direction: Higher is better.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 19 members with a mental illness inpatient discharge in 2021.
| Window | Numerator | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 7-day follow-up | 13 | 68.4% |
| 30-day follow-up | 16 | 84.2% |
Both rates exceed real-world HEDIS averages (35–40% at 7 days, 50–55% at 30 days). The synthetic population likely has high follow-up density because Synthea schedules outpatient visits regularly without modeling care-coordination gaps. The denominator is small (19 discharges from 8,246 members) but the measure is fully implemented from claims with no data caveats.

FUM — Follow-Up After ED Visit for Mental Illness¶
Denominator: Members aged 6+ with an ED visit in 2021 with a principal mental illness diagnosis (ICD-10 F20–F99), excluding visits that resulted in an inpatient admission on the same or next day (those roll up to FUH).
Numerator:
- 7-day: Members with any outpatient or carrier visit within 7 days after the ED visit.
- 30-day: Members with any outpatient or carrier visit within 30 days.
Direction: Higher is better.
ED visits identified by outpatient revenue center codes 0450–0459 and 0981.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 0 qualifying ED visits found. Rate: N/A — not producible from this dataset.
The CMS synthetic FFS outpatient table does not have claims that simultaneously carry ED revenue center codes (0450–0459, 0981) and a principal mental illness diagnosis (F20–F99). Synthea likely encodes ED encounters differently — the revenue center field may not be populated on outpatient claims, or MH diagnoses land on carrier (professional) claims rather than outpatient facility claims.
FUH (inpatient MH discharge) is fully implementable. FUM requires consistent ED facility claim coding that this synthetic dataset doesn't provide. The query structure is correct and would work against real Medicare outpatient data.

IET — Initiation and Engagement of SUD Treatment¶
Denominator: Members aged 13+ with a new SUD episode in 2021 (ICD-10 F10–F19) — first SUD diagnosis in 2021 with no prior SUD claim in the preceding 60 days.
Numerator:
- Initiation: At least one SUD treatment service within 14 days of the index diagnosis.
- Engagement: At least two additional SUD treatment services within 34 days following initiation.
Direction: Higher is better for both rates.
Treatment is identified via HCPCS codes (H0001–H0050 series, 90791–90792, 90832–90838, 99408–99409, G0396/G0397, 90853) or any subsequent claim with an F10–F19 diagnosis.

Conclusion¶
Denominator: 168 new SUD episodes in 2021 (first F10–F19 dx with no SUD claim in prior 60 days).
| Rate | Numerator | Rate % |
|---|---|---|
| Initiation (14-day) | 168 | 100.0% |
| Engagement (34-day) | 11 | 6.5% |
The 100% initiation rate is an artifact of the treatment definition: any subsequent F10–F19 claim counts as a treatment event, and Synthea consistently re-codes SUD diagnoses on follow-up visits — so virtually every index episode has a qualifying event on the same or next visit. In production, initiation should be limited to HCPCS-coded SUD treatment services only.
The 6.5% engagement rate (2+ additional treatment events within 34 days of initiation) is the more meaningful number. It reflects actual visit density in the synthetic data and is lower than real-world HEDIS averages (~40%), consistent with Synthea's sparse outpatient visit modeling.

Numerator: Index admissions followed by any inpatient readmission within 30 days of discharge. The window opens the day after discharge (strict >).
Direction: Lower is better.

Approximately double the real-world Medicare average (~15%). Synthea does not model realistic care-transition behavior, so readmissions are overrepresented in the synthetic data. The measure logic is structurally correct and would produce a valid rate against real claims.
