      Thank you for your inquiry about CMS72v11/STK-5 Antithrombotic Therapy By End of Hospital Day 2. The intent of the exception is to capture inpatient hospitalizations of patients with a documented reason for not administering antithrombotic therapy day of or day after hospital arrival. You may need to discuss with your vendor to how the original documentation is occurring and how it is being updated to mitigate this issue. We hope this helps.

    • Qualifying patients fall into Denominator category instead of Denominator Exception.

      For STK-5, we noticed that orders qualifying for "Medication Not Ordered: Antithrombotic Therapy> Medical Reason" counted in the Denominator Exception, only if the order was auto discontinued upon discharge. For orders that were entered within day of or day after hospitalization but discontinued during the encounter...those orders did not count patient in Denominator Exception. 

      Example - Denominator Exception

      Admit 1/10/23, "Medical Reason" order entered 1/10/23. Patient discharged 1/17/23. Order auto discontinued. 

       

      Example - Denominator

      Admit 1/10/23, "Medical Reason" order entered 1/10/23. Order discontinued 1/16/23. Patient discharged 1/17/23. 

       

      Seeking clarification whether this was the intent with the Denominator Exception logic.
