Has Treatment Engagement With Long Acting Medication
- exists ( ( ["Medication, Order": "Substance Use Disorder Long Acting Medication"] LongActingMedOrder
with ( Min("Treatment Initiation With Non Medication Intervention Dates"
union "Treatment Initiation With Medication Order Dates"
)) InitiationTreatmentDate
such that date from LongActingMedOrder.authorDatetime 34 days or less after InitiationTreatmentDate
)
- For the above CQL criteria, the requirement is that the LongActingMedORder should be placed AFTER the InitiationTreatmentDate, whereas in the CQL Code file recevied from CMS, we are not getting an AFTER statement, instead we are getting an IN statement for this criteria
- As per IN statement, the LongActingMedORder.authordate time can be on the same date as InitiationTreatmentDate
As per the the current CQL logic if Numerator-1 passes because of a Long Acting Medication, Numerator-2 shall also automatically pass for that patient for the Long Acting Medication condition.
This is because the same med which was used for Num-1 would apply for Num-2 condition, even if the authordatetime were the same, as the CQL code is using an 'IN' operator for comparing dates in authordatetime.
