Footnotes are used to identify sources of comparative data or special circumstances around a particular measure score, such as a unique calculation method. Often footnotes are used when there are not enough cases (number of patients or events) to report a measure at a statistically valid level. The list of footnotes below is used in VA reports to help identify these sources and circumstances. Footnotes are identified in reports by parenthesis around the corresponding footnote number. For example, measures that use an NCQA HEDIS benchmark will have a (2) next to the community benchmark score.
