Hello,

We are not meeting the CCDE requirement for weight on patients who remain in observation for greater than 24 hours prior to becoming inpatient status. In reviewing our sample data, >95% of patients have a weight recorded (either in ED or upon arrival to the inpatient unit) within 24 hours before/after admit time. However, only 85% have a weight recorded within 24 hours before/after inpatient encounter time, and we have attributed this to patients who remained in observation status >24 hours. This single variable will prohibit us from meeting the 90% threshold on capturing all 6 vital signs. We propose a change to include the weights recorded in ED/Observation on admission, even when >24 hours prior to inpatient encounter time.
