Patient did not pass VTE-2 Measure
A patient in the IPP for VTE-2, admitted on 5/11/2022, was in the denominator for VTE-2. Patient was discharge (expired) on 5/19, had a mapped mechanical reason for No VTE prophylaxes ordered on 05/11/2022, had a mapped pharmacological reason for No VTE prophylaxes ordered on 05/11/2022 (but was cancelled on 05/13/2022) after being discharged from the ICU to Med Surg floor BUT was put on Comfort Measures on 05/13/2022. We are puzzled why this patient was not excluded and marked as a fall-out. Did the patient need a diagnosis for Comfort Measures, too? Or was it the timing of the comfort measure order? Thank you.
