    • The capture the intent of the measure, if the value is < 0 minutes (which would be a negative value) the case is rejected. We will plan to revisit during the next annual update as minor revisions to the logic may make this more evident. Thank you.​

      In the event a negative value is received for the measure observation for ED-1 or ED-2, will that be included in the median time calculation? Or, should it be ignored and only cases with an observed value > 0 be used to calculate the mean?
