What is the impact if non short stay acute cases are included in the QRDA file for HWR Hybrid measure? We have some small hospitals with swing bed and respite inpatient admissions that are unable to be excluded from the QRDA file for the hybrid measure. If they remain in the file, are they just ignored since they won't have matching claims data or do they count against us as missing linking variables?
