    • ​The measure requires that a medical exception be documented as the reason why an intentional decision for not performing a follow-up or referral was made.
    • CMS69v5/NQF0421
    • Uncertainty about how to document an eCQI measure

      With the change in the measure to no longer have different BMIs for different age ranges, if an elderly patient has one of the exceptions, such as "Illness or physical disability, Mental illness, dementia, confusion" is it required that the provider state something like "not addressed because of...." or is it sufficient that there be documentation somewhere in the EHR that one of those factors is present?
