      Brief Description of Measure:
      CMS68: Documentation of Current Medications in the Medical Record

      Percentage of visits for patients aged 18 years and older for which the eligible clinician attests to documenting a list of current medications using all immediate resources available on the date of the encounter


      Description of Issue:
      Medications should be reviewed and documented for patients of all ages. The measure developer proposes to remove the current restriction that requires patient age greater than or equal to 18 for the initial population and measure denominator.

      Proposed Solution:
      Update initial population to remove age restriction as follows:

      Current:
      Initial Population

      "Qualifying Encounter during day of Measurement Period" QualifyingEncounter
        where AgeInYearsAt(date from start of "Measurement Period")>= 18

      Proposed:
      Initial Population

      "Qualifying Encounter during day of Measurement Period" QualifyingEncounter


      Rationale for Change:
      Updating the age range aligns with measure intent as medications should be reviewed and documented for patients of all ages.
