      Thank you for your question. The value set "transfer from" will be modified to include a SNOMED code for "acute care hospital" during the next annual EH eCQM update.

      The measure algorithm lists " Transfer From: Hospital Measures-Acute care hospital" as a Denominator Exclusion for Population 1 & 2 for the measure. However, the Hospital Measures-Acute care hospital Value Set OID 2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.684 only contains units from a facility, not the Admission Source that would establish that the patient was a transfer from an Acute Care Hospital.

      Burns intensive care unit (environment)
      Medical intensive care unit (environment)
      Ambulatory surgery center (environment)

      OR:
      o OR: "Transfer From: Hospital Measures-Acute care hospital"
      o OR: "Transfer From: Hospital Measures-Ambulatory surgical center"
      o OR: "Occurrence B of Encounter, Performed: Hospital Measures - Encounter ED"
      o OR: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient (length of stay < 24 hour(s))"
      o < 24 hour(s) starts before start of "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"

      1.) What development guidance can you offer?
