       ASA + Oxy is included in the value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.626)(848768 Aspirin 325 MG / Oxycodone Hydrochloride 4.84 MG Oral Tablet RXNORM 2014-01). The only exclusion noted in the data element was: Aggrenox (aspirin/dipyridamole) This value set aligns with the paper chart-based measure that includes this drug combination.

      The 'Clinical Focus' of this value set, according to the steward (OFMQ) reads as follows:

      "This set of values contains medications that are prescribed for Aspirin therapy at hospital discharge for patients following acute myocardial infarction. "

      We noticed the value set includes several multiple ingredient drugs, but were wondering about a few such as Asprin + Oxycodone (Percodan) and some others which on the surface seem like things a doctor would not prescribe to a patient discharged after AMI.
