      Thank you for your question. The "Medication, Order not done" was added as an additional option to the denominator exceptions. The exception will be applicable if a medication is not ordered or does not appear on the discharge medication list, provided reasons are given. We will evaluate adding "Medication, Order" to the numerator for the hospital annual update as well.

    • CMS30v4/NQF0639

      In CMS30v3, for the denominator exception it is given as below:
      ◾OR: "Medication, Order not done: Medical Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
      ◾OR: "Medication, Order not done: Patient Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
      ◾OR: "Medication, Order not done: System Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
      ◾OR: "Medication, Discharge not done: Medical Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
      ◾OR: "Medication, Discharge not done: Patient Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
      ◾OR: "Medication, Discharge not done: System Reasons AMI" for "Statins RxNorm Value Set" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"

      Is it not sufficient to have only "Medication, Discharge not done"? What is the intent of including "Medication, Order not done" when the Guidance for Denominator Exceptions say: "Patients with a Reason for Not Prescribing Statin Medication at Discharge", highlighting the discharge.
