Thank you for your question. These two exclusion statements were removed during the April 2014 measure annual update.
The measure description includes the following exclusions:
Patients who did not receive any antibiotics before or during surgery, or within 24 hours after Anesthesia End Time (i.e., patient did not receive prophylactic antibiotics).
Patients who did not receive any antibiotics during this hospitalization.
These exclusions are not accounted for in the specifications. Please remove these from the description for clarity.
