CMS0108v12
Hi Team,
Consider statements below from ** CMS108v12.
One of the IPP criteria states:
VTE.Admission without VTE or Obstetrical Conditions
Global."Inpatient Encounter" InpatientEncounter
where not ( exists ( InpatientEncounter.diagnoses EncounterDiagnoses
where ( EncounterDiagnoses.code in "Obstetrical or Pregnancy Related Conditions"
or EncounterDiagnoses.code in "Venous Thromboembolism"
or EncounterDiagnoses.code in "Obstetrics VTE"
)
)
)
Query:
1. From the above statement, we want to understand if the measure requires to check active or inactive encounter diagnosis specifically or the diagnosis codes in the value set will suffice?
