    • Thank you for the question. The issues surrounding the measure observation calculation for 2016 reporting no longer exists. Therefore, the ED specifications will be executed as written for 2017 reporting.

    • Measure Observation ED-55 & ED-111

      Per the 2017 specifications patients will be included in ED-55 and ED-111 measure population even if a measure observation can not be calculated due to missing data. Within a 2016 Pioneers in Quality: Expert to Expert presentation regarding ED-55 & ED-111 it was noted that, "If a case satisfies the Measure Population logic but the observation value is not able to be calculated due to missing data, The Joint Commission and CMS will take the case out of the ED Population." We would like clarification in regarding's to how this will be handled for 2017 data submissions. Will this be handled the same way?
