Thank you for your questions. If a mom delivers at home and is subsequently admitted to the hospital for aftercare, she would not be included in the IP for ePC01, ePC02 or ePC07. These 3 measures require that there be a delivery procedure on the current encounter. A home delivery would not be coded as a delivery by the hospital. The initial patient population for PC maternal and PC newborn eCQMs will approximate the number of moms that deliver in the hospital and babies born in the hospital. However, there will be some differences. For the PC maternal measures, please note the denominator criteria narrows the IP population by the following gestational age restrictions: ePC01: >= 37 and < 39 weeks gestation ePC02: >= 37 weeks gestation ePC07: >= 20 weeks gestation For the PC newborn measures, ePC05 and ePC06’s initial population is defined as: Inpatient hospitalizations for single newborns who were born in the hospital with a discharge date that ends during the measurement period and with either of the following conditions: - An estimated gestational age at birth of >= 37 weeks - Birth weight >= 3000 grams without an estimated gestational age at birth Therefore, newborns < 37 weeks (or < 3000 grams when EGA is not available) and non-single liveborns would not be included in the IP. This could account for some discrepancies between the ePC05/ePC06 IP count and your overall number of newborns delivered.
