      There were quite a few times that our hospital obtained a peripheral pulse rate instead of the heart rate within the specified time period for the HWM/HWR Hybrid measure.  This was a contributing factor in our threshold being below 90%.  Please allow for a Peripheral Pulse Rate to count in the Heart Rate vital sign.
