Please take a look at the denom exclusions for this measure and consider this example-
Pt had an active dx of Gest Dm:
Start Date: Feb 1, 2010
End Date: Nov 2, 2010
Then again, same pt has an active dx of Gest Dm:
Start Date: March 5, 2014
End Date: sometime in 2014
Here's the question-
1. Because this pt has a record on file with an end date of Nov 2, 2010.
Should this patient NOT be considered for the denominator criteria-
"Denominator Exclusions =◦AND NOT: "Occurrence A of Diagnosis, Active: Gestational Diabetes" ends before start of "Measurement Period"
"
If my question is not clear, kindly let me know and if a number is provided ... I can call for a quick 5-10 minute discussion on this for clarification.
Thanks !
