      We are getting rejections on hospitals that have a BP unit of measure of mm Hg instead of mm{Hg}. Most hospitals have the suggested/appropriate UOM but the characters expected are causing issues. And looking forward to next year, based on the guidance in the spec below, we'll continue to see this. Hospitals obviously collect weight in lbs but do not document that unit as [lb_av]. Can the measure evaluator and spec be updated to allow for submission w/o rejection of any form of the unit or remove the characters that aren't in alignment with how the UOM is documented clinically? Thanks! Happy to discuss further based on the issues we are seeing currently.
