      Brief description of measure
      CMS646: Intravesical Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer:
      Percentage of patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer and who received intravesical Bacillus-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) within 6 months of bladder cancer staging.

      CMS771: Urinary Symptom Score Change 6-12 Months After Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia:
      Percentage of patients with an office visit within the measurement period and with a new diagnosis of clinically significant Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia who have International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) or American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index (SI) documented at time of diagnosis and again 6-12 months later with an improvement of 3 points.

      Description of issue
      Measurement Period should be updated to "day of Measurement Period" to harmonize with other measures and as a consideration for the transition to FHIR.

      Goal of review
      Obtain technical feedback

      Proposed solution
      ​Revise logic to include "day of Measurement Period" instead of "Measurement Period".

      CMS646
      CURRENT LOGIC:
      define "Has Qualifying Encounter"
        exists ["Encounter, Performed": "Office Visit"] ValidEncounter
          where ValidEncounter.relevantPeriod during "Measurement Period"
            and ValidEncounter.class !~ "virtual"

      PROPOSED LOGIC:
      define "Has Qualifying Encounter"
        exists ["Encounter, Performed": "Office Visit"] ValidEncounter
           where ValidEncounter.relevantPeriod during day of "Measurement Period"
             and ValidEncounter.class !~ "virtual"

      CMS771:
      CURRENT LOGIC:
      define "BMI Exam Result Greater Than or Equal To 40 During Measurement Period and On or Before Follow Up USS Assessment"
         exists[...]
                 and Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod)during "Measurement Period"
                 and Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod)on or before FollowUpUSSAssessment.assessmentDatetime
             return Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod))

      define "Has Qualifying Encounter"
        exists ["Encounter, Performed": "Office Visit"] ValidEncounter
          where ValidEncounter.relevantPeriod during "Measurement Period"
            and ValidEncounter.class !~ "virtual"

      PROPOSED LOGIC:  
      define "BMI Exam Result Greater Than or Equal To 40 During Measurement Period and On or Before Follow Up USS Assessment"
         exists[...]
              and Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod)during day of "Measurement Period"
              and Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod)on or before FollowUpUSSAssessment.assessmentDatetime
          return Global.EarliestOf(BMIExam.relevantDatetime, BMIExam.relevantPeriod))

      define "Has Qualifying Encounter"
         exists ["Encounter, Performed": "Office Visit"] ValidEncounter
             where ValidEncounter.relevantPeriod during day of "Measurement Period"
               and ValidEncounter.class !~ "virtual"

      Rationale for change
      ​Revising the timing harmonizes with the approach across measures, and aligns with the measure intent.
