    • Differing interpretation of numerator intent

      Meaningful Use measure CMS 109 – VTE 4 states the timeframe for monitoring of platelets is at baseline, 24 hours after initiation and then every other day. Is the data element they are looking for a date & time of the platelet count or is it the date and time of the note? Is there a time window for 24 hours from initiation, such as is it within 24 hours? An hour on either side of the 24 hours? Or exactly the 24 hours from the documented time of initiation?
