      ​Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS156v11 Use of High-Risk Medications in Older Adults (2023 performance period). The daily dose criteria is specified in the measure logic, viewable in the human-readable HTML format (https://ecqi.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/ecqm/measures/CMS156v11-v2.html). The numerator is met when there are at least two orders of high-risk medications from the same drug class each exceeding the average daily dose criteria. The same high-risk medications included in this criteria are reserpine, digoxin, and doxepin; the daily dose criteria for each is >0.1 mg/day, >0.125 mg/day, and >6 mg/day, respectively. For example, two orders of reserpine each exceeding 0.1 mg/day would meet numerator.

      where "Average Daily Dose"(ReserpineOrdered)> 0.1 'mg/d'

      or exists ( "More Than One Order"(["Medication, Order": "Digoxin"] DigoxinOrdered
      where "Average Daily Dose"(DigoxinOrdered)> 0.125 'mg/d'
      )
      )
      or exists ( "More Than One Order"(["Medication, Order": "Doxepin"] DoxepinOrdered
      where "Average Daily Dose"(DoxepinOrdered)> 6 'mg/d'

      The average daily dose criteria calculation is mentioned but do we have any fixed values we should be comparing these with or do we check if the amount that is dispensed as per the prescription is greater than the dosage amount or the other way around?
