      The QDM defines “Procedure, Performed: PCI” valueset with an associated timing component and SNOMED-CT and ICD-9 codes for measuring time of balloon insertion, time a stent was deployed, etc. CMS53v3’s measure specification was verified in Bonnie consistent with my previous statement. I hope that clarifies the part about the measure elements being in the specification. Please let us know if this does not fully answer your question.

    • We are unclear which elements are required for the EHR certification.

      In the eCQM Logic and Implementation Guidance and Technical Release notes, v 1.7, there are elements that are listed that are not in the specification population/criteria. An example is on pg. 31, 6.1.6, 3rd paragraph. It states that we need “to capture the time the balloon was inflated, the time the stent was deployed, or the time a thrombectomy device was used to treat the lesion….”
      Are these elements (that are not in the specifications) required to be in the data that is submitted to CMS?
      Are these elements (that are not in the specifications) required to pass EHR certification?
