      ​​Thank you for your inquiry. Since this eCQM measures the rate of harms during inpatient hospitalizations, a lower measure score indicates higher quality. The measure score, or performance rate, is calculated using the sample calculation below and attached:

      Measure Observations associated with the Numerator (n=10) divided by the difference between Measure Observations associated with the Denominator (n=500) and Denominator Exclusions (n=50) equals 10/450, which equals a rate of 2.22%.

      In CMS871v2 - Hospital Harm - Severe Hyperglycemia specifications is mentioned under the 'improvement notation' section that 'A lower measure score indicates higher quality', can you please clarify how the measure score is calculated for this ratio measure? Thanks
