Hospital-Based Inpatient Psychiatric Services
Paper Tool for Discharge Measures HBIPS-4 through -7

01-01-2015 (Q1 2015) through 9-30-2015 (Q3 2015)

This paper abstraction tool is provided as an optional, informal mechanism to aid psychiatric facilities and hospital psychiatric units in the collection of the measures for the CMS Inpatient Psychiatric Facility Quality Reporting Program. The tool is designed to collect patient specific data; however, once abstracted, the data will need to be compiled and reported to CMS in aggregate. It should be noted that skip logic is not contained within the paper abstraction tool. If there are any questions or concerns regarding use of this paper abstraction tool, please contact the IPFQR Program Support Contractor .
