      CMS122v3: Diabetes: Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control
      Patient is numerator compliant if most recent HbA1c level >9%, the most recent HbA1c result is missing, or if there are no HbA1c tests performed and results documented during the measurement period.
      • Numerator =
      o AND:
       OR:
       AND: MOST RECENT:"Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Result: HbA1c Laboratory Test" during "Measurement Period"
       AND: "Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Result: HbA1c Laboratory Test (result > 9 %)"
       OR:
       AND: MOST RECENT:"Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Performed: HbA1c Laboratory Test" during "Measurement Period"
       AND NOT: "Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Result: HbA1c Laboratory Test (result)" starts after start of "Occurrence A of Laboratory Test, Performed: HbA1c Laboratory Test"
       OR NOT: "Laboratory Test, Performed: HbA1c Laboratory Test" during "Measurement Period"
      Problem: Since a “Laboratory Test, Result” is indicative of “Laboratory Test, Performed” it is impossible to indicate that a “Laboratory Test, Result” has taken place after a “Laboratory Test, Performed.” Logically, it will appear that the “Laboratory Test, Result” has taken place at the same time as the “Laboratory Test, Performed.”

      Solution: To be consistent with the intent of the measure, change the “start after start” operand to the “start after or concurrent with start” operand to capture a “Laboratory Test, Result” that occurs concurrently with the “Laboratory Test, Performed”

    • affecting certification

      To qualify for the numerator count, CMS122v3/NQF 0059 requires one of the following to be true:
      1). HbA1c test result > 9%
      2). Most recent HbA1c result is missing
      3). No HbA1c performed and documented during reporting period

      Patient "Diabetes_Adult_A" does not appear to satisfy any of the criterion above but Cypress v2.5.1 expects this patient to be included in the numerator. Can you confirm this logic is correct?
