      ​Thank you for your question about CMS771v5 Urinary Symptom Score Change 6-12 Months After Diagnosis of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

       

      Query 1: The updated information the Guidance section was added to explain the 'as Integer' requirement since representation of the structured data other than as an Integer datatype (i.e., a number or quantity with value and units) during data capture, transmission, or tooling would exclude the value from evaluation. The Symptom Score is defined as Property = Score and Scale = Qn (Quantitative). Per LOINC, Quantitative is defined as "The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form “7”, “-7”, “7.4”, “-7.4”, “7.8912”, “0.125”, “<10”, “<10.15”, “>12000”, 1-10, 1:256". LOINC does not constrain to Integer.

       

      Query 2: Yes, the IPPSAssessment.result of a decimal value such as 7.4 is acceptable. The value will be converted to an integer through the ‘as Integer’ function.

       

      We hope this helps.

      Hi Team,

      Consider the below definitions applicable for IPP of cms771v5.

      Documented IPSS Assessment Result
      ["Assessment, Performed": "International Prostate Symptom Score [IPSS]"] IPSSAssessment
        where IPSSAssessment.result is not null
        return

      {     assessmentDatetime: Global.EarliestOf ( IPSSAssessment.relevantDatetime, IPSSAssessment.relevantPeriod ),     result: IPSSAssessment.result as Integer   }

       
      AUA Symptom Index and Quality of Life Assessment Result
      ["Assessment, Performed": "American Urological Association Symptom Index [AUASI]"] AUASIAssessment
        let LastQOLOnDate: Last(["Assessment, Performed": "If you were to spend the rest of your life with your urinary condition just the way it is now, how would you feel about that [IPSS]"] QOLAssessment
            where Global.EarliestOf(QOLAssessment.relevantDatetime, QOLAssessment.relevantPeriod)same day as Global.EarliestOf(AUASIAssessment.relevantDatetime, AUASIAssessment.relevantPeriod)
              and QOLAssessment.result is not null
            sort by Global.EarliestOf(relevantDatetime, relevantPeriod)
        )
        where AUASIAssessment.result is not null
          and LastQOLOnDate.result is not null
        return Tuple

      {     assessmentDatetime: Global.EarliestOf ( AUASIAssessment.relevantDatetime, AUASIAssessment.relevantPeriod ),     result: ( AUASIAssessment.result as Integer ) + ( LastQOLOnDate.result as Integer )   }

      Query 1
      As per above statements from CQL section of the measure specification, Urinary Symptom Score Assessment result (IPSS/AUASIA/QOL) should be an Integer value.
      However, the guidance section states- 
      The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. 
      Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. 
      The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. 
      Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form “7”, “-7”, “7.4”, “-7.4”, “7.8912”, “0.125”, “<10”, “<10.15”, “>12000”, 1-10, 1:256. 

      Kindly provide more clarity on the above statements.

      Query 2
      If the IPSSAssessment.result is a decimal value (example: 7.4). 
      Is the value acceptable?

      Kindly assist us on the above queries urgently as client deliverables are dependent upon it.
