      Hi - I'm looking for clarificaiton on the statement in the hybrid measure specs: For each CCDE, it is recommended that hospitals report the below Unified Code for Units of Measure (UCUM) units, however, any units may be submitted. Where the reported unit is not easily converted to the requested UCUM units, the value will be set to missing and the median value reported for that CCDE will be imputed.

      Are you using the median value for that CCDE from the data submitted by the hospital or is it the nationwide median value for that CCDE?

      Thanks
