Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are currently discussing these concerns and future plans to address it with the measure steward. In the meantime, please continue to use the 2017 reporting period (CMS31v5) measure specifications as they exist

Hello, I am looking for some guidance on this value set. We use value set mapping for QRDA measures for the IPPS portion of MU (Hospital). This value set contains the snomed code of 169826009 Single Live Birth (finding). This code and the hierarchy apply to the mother, however it is being used for the CMS 31 Newborn Hearing Screen. Since this is included in the value set maternal patients are being included in the patient population incorrectly. Could you please provide some guidance if this code is correctly included in this set. As I evaluate the code at this time is seems to be a mistake.
