Thank you for your inquiry specific to CMS871v3 Hospital Harm – Severe Hyperglycemia. The scenario you provided does not qualify for the denominator exclusion. Assuming the glucose test with value 1200 mg/dL is 10:30 AM, and the inpatient encounter starts at 4:00 PM and ends at 7:00 PM, the exclusion is not met because the glucose of >=1000 mg/dL does not occur between 1 hour prior to the start of the encounter to 6 hours after the start of the encounter. Please let us know if our assumptions regarding AM / PM for the encounter and glucose test times are incorrect. We hope this helps.

CMS0871v3

Hi Team,

We have a query regarding denominator exclusion criteria wrt to the CMS871v3 measure :

Consider the below section:

Glucose Greater Than or Equal to 1000 within 1 Hour Prior To and 6 Hours After Encounter Start :

from

"Initial Population" InpatientHospitalization,

["Laboratory Test, Performed": "Glucose Lab Test Mass Per Volume"] GlucoseTest

let HospitalizationInterval: Global."HospitalizationWithObservation" ( InpatientHospitalization ),

GlucoseTestTime: Global."EarliestOf" ( GlucoseTest.relevantDatetime, GlucoseTest.relevantPeriod )

where GlucoseTest.result >= 1000 'mg/dL'

and GlucoseTest.result is not null

and GlucoseTestTime during Interval[( start of HospitalizationInterval - 1 hour ), ( start of HospitalizationInterval + 6 hours )]

return GlucoseTest

Scenario 1:

Patient A aged 21 years with

Start of InpatientEncounter.relevantPeriod = 11/12/2024 4:00

End of InpatientEncounter.relevantPeriod = 11/12/2024 7:00

having first Glucose Lab Test Mass Per Volume documented on 11/12/2024 10:30 with value 1200 mg/dL.

#Query :

Will the above patient qualify for exclusion?
