      ​​Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, both measures are looking for VTE prophylaxis was applied between the day of arrival and the day after hospital admission for VTE-1 OR the day of or day after ICU admission for VTE-2. From the measure definition expressions, you will notice that the measures look for the date of VTE prophylaxis applied, where "day of TJC."CalendarDayOfOrDayAfter" are applied to the timing conditions. So, if your system only capture date only, it will be no concerns at all to get an appropriate measure outcome. The documentation times are evaluated when a patient did not have VTE prophylaxis, and the documentation of a reason are needed. similar to VTE prophylaxis, the date of the documentation without time will be processed against the measure logic appropriately.

      VTE1 and VTE2 is looking for DVT prophylaxis to be applied the day of admission to inpatient or the day after.  Our EHR has developed a way to capture this through the chargemaster.  It is my understanding that when doing this through the chargemaster, there is only a date that is captured.  We have been instructed that when there is documentation on the day of admission to put the charge in on day after admission. I want to make sure that when the chart is validated by an auditor, that the auditor is not matching the date and time of when the mechanical VTE prophylaxis were documented on the patient in the medical record with the date/time that was submitted in the ecqm.
