Chronic Conditions

The Chronic Conditions data mart implements two different chronic condition groupers: one defined by CMS and the other defined by Tuva. We started defining chronic conditions in Tuva after struggling to use the CMS logic, either because certain chronic conditions were missing (e.g. non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, MASH, etc.) or because existing definitions were unsatisfactory (e.g. type 1 and type 2 diabetes are considered the same condition by CMS).

Tuva Chronic Conditions are defined and/or reviewed by medically-trained clinical informaticists.
