      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The denominator exclusion for Length of Stay <24 hours should read as Length of Stay <=1 day and will be updated during the next maintenance update in April 2014.

      You can also refer to CQM-560 for more information on calculating length of stay.

      The exclusion for Length of Stay should be <= 1 day, not < 24 hours. The human readable text in the denominator exclusion says:

      "Patients who have duration of stay less than or equal to one day."

      and the legacy measure calculates this by:

      "Duration of stay = Discharge Date - Arrival Date (in days)" and excludes for <=1 day
