CMS0156v12
Multiple Eligible Clinician measures include the 'Medication, Order' datatype in their CQL logic. However, the intended setting is not listed in the definition.
Setting is where the medication is expected to be consumed or administered. Examples:
- Inpatient - in the hospital during the current inpatient stay
- Outpatient - in an outpatient facility such as an ambulatory surgical center
- Community - in the ambulatory setting (e.g., at home)
In CMS156, when evaluating the medication order logic, example:
Medication, Order": "Anticholinergics, first generation antihistamines
is it the intent of the measure to only evaluate orders from a specific setting? Although the CQL logic does not include setting attribute? Or setting should not be evaluated in these cases? Please clarify., your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
