      ​Thank you for your question. As written, the logic allows for documentation of comfort measures during the ED. The logic <= 1 day(s) starts after start of ("Encounter, Performed: Emergency Department Visit" will capture comfort measures documented after the ED start time (in minutes), including during the ED visit.

      ​Thank you for your question. As written, the logic allows for documentation of comfort measures during the ED. The logic <= 1 day(s) starts after start of ("Encounter, Performed: Emergency Department Visit" will capture comfort measures documented after the ED start time (in minutes), including during the ED visit.

      VTE-1 measure denominator exclusion restricts the Comfort measures intervention to
      <= 1 day(s) starts after start of ("Encounter, Performed: Emergency Department Visit"...).
      <= 1 day(s) starts after start of Occurrence A of $EncounterInpatient)
      <= 1 day(s) starts after end of ("Procedure, Performed: General or Neuraxial Anesthesia"...)

      However, it seems the intention of the logic is to exclude 'Patients with comfort measures documented anytime between arrival and the day after hospital admission'. If that is the case, shouldn't the evaluation for comfort measures in the ED be 'during' ("Encounter, Performed: Emergency Department Visit"...),instead of <= 1 day(s)? Please advise. Thanks.
