    • Thank you for your question. After review, it was determined this phrase should have "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital Measures-Colon Surgery". This change was made during the April 2014 measure annual update.

      The Other Surgeries logic for population 5 (colon surgery) of SCIPInf2 is the following:

      OR: "Occurrence B of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures-Joint Commission evidence of a surgical procedure requiring general or neuraxial anesthesia" <= 3 day(s) ends before start of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery (ordinality: 'Hospital Measures - Principal')"
      OR: "Occurrence B of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures-Joint Commission evidence of a surgical procedure requiring general or neuraxial anesthesia" <= 3 day(s) starts after end of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery (ordinality: 'Hospital Measures - Principal')"
      OR: "Device, Applied: Hospital measures-Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator device" <= 3 day(s) ends before start of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"
      OR: "Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures-Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator insertion procedure" <= 3 day(s) ends before start of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"
      OR: "Device, Applied: Hospital measures-Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator device" <= 3 day(s) starts after end of "Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"
      OR: "Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures-Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator insertion procedure" <= 3 day(s) starts after end of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"

      Note how all but one of these are looking for other procedures that end before start of, or start after end of "Occurrence A of Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"

      The line:
      OR: "Device, Applied: Hospital measures-Pacemaker or implantable defibrillator device" <= 3 day(s) starts after end of "Procedure, Performed: Hospital measures- Colon surgery"

      is missing the words "Occurence A of" All other similar lines in this measure have that Occurence A mention
