ACP does not support QPP measure 111: 鈥淧neumococcal Vaccination Status for Older Adults.鈥 While this measure represents an important clinical concept, implementation could promote treatment overuse if patients seek medical care from multiple providers and/or have poor medical record continuity. In addition, the developer should update the numerator specifications to align with current clinical recommendations on pneumococcal vaccination.
