Thank you for your question on CMS108, Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis (VTE-1). According to the information provided, this patient, who was given Eliquis or Xarelto with history of either afib, DVT, PE, or hip/knee surgery, could meet VTE-1 numerator criteria. However, we need more detailed information to find out why this patient failed the measure. For example, we would need to know the timeline for the administration of Eliquis or Xarelto. If Eliquis or Xarelto was given on the day of or day after admission, with or without history of afib, DVT, PE, or hip/knee surgery, the patient should pass the measure. You can directly discuss this case with your EHR vendor, or we can help you if you can provide us more detailed information
