I don't think hospitals should be held to an APU penalty for a measure logic nuance. We are finding that patients are getting a weight but fall out side of the 24 hours from IP, even by an hour, since it was taken it should be considered.
If "On the inpatient claim, a valid "from" date could be up to and including 3-days (or 1 day) prior to the actual inpatient admission based on the pre-admission bundling rule"
Then the time frame for the "matching" claims measure should also allow values from that time period.
