    • Per the Data Types R2 specification, lowClosed and highClosed both default to "true", so this issue has been clarified and resolved.
    • Length of stay = 120 are NOT included in the eCQMs xml implementation .

      I found the discrepancies between eCQM xml file and HQMF IG document. In the HQMF Implementation Guide, the example provided specifies LOS with <highClosed="true"> to include “value = 120”. However, all eCQMs v2015 contain NO such indicator (see the screen short below). Since eCQMs xml file does not say it, our question is how to include value of "=120" to LOS calculation.

      In V3_IG_HQMF_DSTU_R1.1_2015JAN_VOL1:
      <lengthOfStayQuantity >
      <uncertainRange highClosed="true">
      <high xsi:type="PQ" value="120" unit="d"/>
      </uncertainRange>
      </lengthOfStayQuantity>

      In xml file -
      <lengthOfStayQuantity>
      <uncertainRange>
      <low nullFlavor="NINF" xsi:type="PQ"/>
      <high unit="d" value="120" xsi:type="PQ"/>
      </uncertainRange>
      </lengthOfStayQuantity>
      </encounterCriteria>
