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"
