      ​​Thank you for your question on CMS506, Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. The intent of the value set Discharge To Acute Care Facility (2.16.840.1.113883.3.117.1.7.1.87) is to exclude patient encounters with discharge to a short-term acute care facility. Patient encounters ending in discharges to other types of facilities, including but not limited to long-term acute care and skilled nursing facilities, should remain in the measure denominator. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

    • affects our numerator for Safe Use of Opioids

      Hello, we have a patient in the Safe Use of Opioids population discharged to "Other Facility". Per our program, the patient was excluded with notation of Excluded due to discharge Disposition of Acute Care, Would the discharge disposition of Other Facility flow into the Acute Care/Inpatient Care discharge disposition?
