      Thank you for raising this issue. In the next annual update cycle, we plan to remove the <1 day threshold. With this revision, documentation of gestational age >=37 weeks any time during the Inpatient Encounter would suffice for inclusion in the IPP.

    • Initial Patient Population Constraint for CMS 9 is unclear

      CMS9 has the following statement in the IPP logic:

      AND: "Physical Exam, Finding: Estimated Gestational Age at Birth (result >= 37 week(s))" < 1 day(s) starts during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"

      "<1 day starts during" is not logically consistent.

      Is "<1 day starts after start of" the intended meaning?
