The quality information is just a snapshot of some the care providers give to their patients. Reporting more or less information is not a reflection of quality.

Quality Measure	Performance	Number of Patients
Closing the Referral Loop: Receipt of Specialist Report	19%	188
Percentage of patients with referrals, regardless of age, for which the referring provider receives a report from the provider to whom the patient was referred
Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record	100%	206

NPI Validation Check Digit Calculation

The following table explains the step by step NPI number validation process using the ISO standard Luhn algorithm.

Start with the original NPI number, the last digit is the check digit and is not used in the calculation.
1	4	8	7	6	0	1	0	6	8
Step 1: Double the value of the alternate digits, beginning with the rightmost digit.
2	4	16	7	12	0	2	0	12
Step 2: Add all the doubled and unaffected individual digits from step 1 plus the constant number 24.
2 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 2 + 24 = 52
Step 3: Subtract the total obtained in step 2 from the next higher number ending in zero, the result is the check digit.
60 - 52 = 8									8

The NPI number 1487601068 is valid because the calculated check digit 8 using the Luhn validation algorithm matches the last digit of the original NPI number.
