Thank you for your question. The revised measure specifications are correct, and the next version of the release notes, in June 2013, will be updated to relfect that this logic has been moved to a denominator exception.

The April release notes say that Hospital Measures-Ventricular Assist Device placement has been added to Denominator Exclusions. However, in the new version of the published specifications, it shows under Denominator Exceptions. Which is correct? Thank you.
