CMS137v5/NQF0004
We are working on developing “eCQM137v5 Initiation and Engagement of Alcohol and Other Drug Dependence Treatment” in our EHR software.
As per the QDM logic we need to apply Stratification 1 and Stratification 2 to both the Population Criteria 1 and the Population Criteria 2. So exactly how does this work ? When we report the denominator and the numerator counts, would there be in total 2 denominators and 4 numerators ?
i.e.
Population Criteria 1
Denominator 1 (for Stratification 1)
Denominator 2 (for Stratification 2)
Numerator 1 (for Stratification 1)
Numerator 2 (for Stratification 2)
Population Criteria 2
Denominator 1 (same as Population criteria 1)
Denominator 2 (same as Population criteria 1)
Numerator 3 (for Stratification 1)
Numerator 4 (for Stratification 2)
Are we getting this right ? If not, please help us with this.
Also, do we have to apply stratification to Denominator Exclusions too in the similar manner ?
