    • Determination if VTE-1 documentation can pass measure or not, and if cases are being pulled appropriately for numerator and denominator.

      Hi,

      This is a very simple question; however it has been difficult to get a straight confirmation regarding the reliability of information from the regulatory sites, articles, etc.

      1) I simply need to know if a mechanical VTE device ONLY is applied in the proper measure time frame, places the case for that measure in the numerator (eg, "not a fallout")- if there is no "reason for no pharmacological prophylaxis" also documented.

      2) As a follow-up to that, can it be confirmed that Graduated Compression Stockings are acceptable for mechanical VTE prophylaxis? I ask this because there seems to be a difference between the requirements for chart-abstracted cases and for ECQMs. Which is all fine and good, however I simply want to make sure I'm understanding the requirement correctly.
