      Failure to meet data element capture at 90% Threshold level putting our organization at risk for payment reduction.
      The 2 hour post admit is very difficult to meet related to many patients coming in for observation status and then a change to IP status occurs. Operationally, staff do not realize the change in status, because patient care continues regardless. The requirement is going to force additional resources to ensure patient weights are captured multiple times per day to ensure we meet the requirement - hence this is actually making a change to treat the measure, and not the patient.

    • We respectfully request a change in requirements for Weight element timing to align better with operational workflows and suggest a 24 hours prior and 24 hours after admit to IP status.
