      Thank you for your inquiry specific to CMS816v3 Hospital Harm – Severe Hypoglycemia. Inpatient planned surgical hospitalizations are eligible for inclusion to the measure if they meet the initial population criteria which is: Inpatient hospitalizations that end during the measurement period for patients age 18 and older, and at least one hypoglycemic medication was administered during the encounter.
