Can you confirm that patient-based measures are intended in some cases to look across visits and providers to determine whether appropriate care was given? Our understanding is that all providers who had a visit with the patient during the measurement period, and who have selected a particular measure, share in the credit or blame for what happened to the patient; even if the event triggering the numerator did not occur in one of their own visits with the patient. For example, Provider #1 may have seen the patient for a qualifying encounter for the diabetic foot exam measure during the measurement period, and Provider #2 may have performed a foot exam for that patient during the measurement period. As we understand it, Provider #1 will get credit for the foot exam having been performed even though s/he did not actually do it. Please confirm that this is the intention in the case of CMS136v4/NQF0108 and CMS123v3/NQF0056 as examples. The numerator specifications in these measures only look at whether certain activities occurred, and are mute on the topic of whether a particular provider was supposed to have done them
