      Thank you for your inquiry on CMS190, Intensive Care Unit Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis (VTE-2). For this measure, as well as CMS108 (VTE-1), we use SCIP VTE Selected Surgery value sets to exclude patients (cardiac surgery is not part of the exclusions). For VTE measure inclusion and evaluation, we don't use procedure codes to identify VTE-2 patients. We use "General or Neuraxial Anesthesia" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.1743) to capture any surgical patient when they need VTE prophylaxis on the day of or day after surgery.

    • Heart Hospital Clients which provides care only to cardic patients has challenge identifying patients with VTE-02 quality measure since measure selection mapping has no surgical codes for cardiovascular conditions

      What codes can be used to identify Patients who qualify for VTE-02 measure but care

      is for cardiovascular surgery services
