    • The value set that is linked to this Denominator Exclusion logic statement includes LOINC codes indicating positive test results for HIV testing. Therefore only a positive test result would exclude a patient and the measure aligns to its intent.
    • CMS188v1/NQF0147

      One of the exclusions listed in the logic is for HIV: OR: "Laboratory Test, Result: Hospital Measures-HIV test" This appears to reference the presence of the test (whether positive or negative), not the actual result set that establishes the exclusion.
      Considering these three issues we suggest that either the definition is fixed, or that the measure be withdrawn as the definition does not properly reflect the intent of the measure.
