I am validating our data for CMS 529 and am looking for clarification of the timing of the weight for CMS 529.
I see that weight uses lab test timing, does that mean that for a direct admit the weight that should be submitted for this measure is within 2 hours after the first lab test rather than the start of the admission?
If the patient comes from the emergency department is the timing of the weight the first within 24 hours of the start of the admission or within 24 hours of the first lab resulted?
// Weight uses lab test timing
