Quality Measure and Care-Gap Support study kit
Cheatsheet, term cards, never-miss list, and a seven-day plan. Original study material.
The rule
Confirm the measure year, the denominator, and any exclusion before you outreach. Do not invent a completed screening.
A confirmed open gap goes to the outreach path. Closure needs the source the specification accepts.
Never miss
- Numerator, denominator, exclusion.
- A claim without a matching note is not always enough.
- Hard-to-reach is not an exclusion.
- Last year is not automatically this year.
- The first line of a case note is the one question the reader has to answer today.
- A note that stands alone attaches each fact to the document you read it in, ends with a named owner and the one next action, and writes an unsettled question down instead of resolving it in silence.
Traps
- Entering a screening that never happened.
- Excluding a member because the rate is ugly.
- Closing on a rumor.
Shortcuts
- Specification, then the record, then outreach.
- Preferred channel.
- Dated outreach.
Memory hooks
- SPEC-THEN-RECORD. Never outreach a closed or excluded gap Gap lists.
This is a practice drill for the desk.

- Day 5Packet and evidenceRead the Packet and evidence terms, then the never-miss lines that touch this domain.
- Day 6Mixed recallRun the term cards, then a short drill. Restate the one-line rule out loud.
- Day 7Full drillSit the 9-question exam and review every miss against this kit.
