      Thank you for your inquiry for CMS139v12: Falls: Screening for Future Fall Risk. An order of the screening would reference a different datatype, "Assessment, Order", that is not in this measure and would in turn not meet measure requirements. The logic currently does not constrain to a specific result, so any corresponding result would not have any impact. The logic looks for whether a Falls Screening assessment was performed (documented using "Assessment, Performed" datatype using any codes from the "Falls Screening" value set).

      The measure numerator criteria states "Patients who were screened for future fall risk at least once within the measurement period".

      The CQL logic for Numerator goes as: 

      exists ( ["Assessment, Performed": "Falls Screening"] FallsScreening
          where Global."NormalizeInterval" ( FallsScreening.relevantDatetime, FallsScreening.relevantPeriod ) during day of "Measurement Period"

      Ask:

      For our EHR, we have enrolled clinical providers who are placing orders for Fall risk.

      The Order alone may not suffice as fall risk assessment. Whether the CQL logic determines the receipt of a a corresponding result document for the Fall risk order placed so that the Assessment performed QDM is aligned so that measure gets satisfied?

      Or

      Whether placing an Order for Fall risk alone would satisfy the measure.

      Kindly clarify.
