      We have been working on an approach to correcting the "gestational age" concept. We are looking to add a Patient Characteristic to the QDM to accommodate this feature.

      Please also see issue CQM-615 for more information.

    • CMS185v1/NQF0716
    • QDMs referenced in the different measures looking at gestational age is inconsistent, making consistent coding of CQM reports difficult

      CMS185V2 (NQF0716) uses a QDM of Diagnosis, Active to identify gestational age; however, all other EH 2014 CQMs referencing gestational age use a QDM of Patient/Individual Characteristic. This inconsistency makes using a consistent reporting logic difficult. Also, gestational age is typically captured as a discrete data element in the CEHRT, not on diagnosis/problem control. Will this logic be updated to use Patient Characteristic in the next CQM logic update?
