Measure Info
ACP supports NQF measure #1661: “Sub-1 Alcohol Use Screening” because it is appropriately specified to assess performance at the facility-level of analysis, it is easy to implement a validated screening questionnaire; several members of the clinical support staff are capable of administering the screening test, and implementation can inform the care of patients who are at risk of alcohol withdrawal during hospitalization.
