PN6 - To be included in the initial patient population for PN6, it looks for "Occurance A of Encounter, Performed: Hospital Measures-Encounter Inpatient" which uses valueset "Hospital Measures-Encounter Inpatient" (oid 2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.625) which has 49 values
Later in the measure definition it has a denominator exclusion: OR: "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient" that would appear to exclude patients with an encounter type in valueset "Encounter Inpatient" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.307). This valueset contains 38 values, all of which are on the valueset used to determine the initial population.
This would have the effect of excluding some types of inpatient encounters, but I can't see any pattern to why the remaining values that are NOT on the "Encounter Inpatient" valueset would be included when the ones on the valueset are excluded?
Is this denominator exclusion correct?
