      Hi,

      Need a confirmation on reporting lab value results for hybrid measures  :

       

      The measure spec document mentions that only first resulted value to be reported  for each ccde, however the CMS IG as such does not specifically mention on reporting the first resulted value in the QRDA xml. Can you confirm on this understanding?

      Measure spec CMS IG
      Do not report ALL values on an encounter during their entire admission. Only report the FIRST resulted value for EACH core clinical data element collected in the appropriate timeframe, if available.
             		 For each of the core clinical data elements specified in a hybrid measure, the measure specification returns the specific encounter id that a core clinical data element result is associated with.For example, when reporting the first resulted sodium value and datetime, it should also provide the encounter id that the sodium result is associated with in the same Laboratory Test, Performed (V6) template. The encounter id must reference an existing instance of Encounter, Performed template’s encounter/id contained in the same QRDA I file.
       
      This indicates that thefirst lab result should have an encounter & have it printed. Specifically doesn’t mention to ignore the other results.
