      Thank you for your question. The logic will be updated during the measure maintenance period to include the use of the timing relationship "starts during" in the logic phrase. Revised specifications will be available during the next regularly-scheduled update.

      Thank you for your question. The logic will be updated during the measure maintenance period to include the use of the timing relationship "starts during" in the logic phrase. Revised specifications will be available during the next regularly-scheduled update.

      In the denominator logic there exists:

      AND: "Occurrence A of Device, Applied: Hospital Measures-Indwelling urinary catheter (start datetime, anatomical structure: 'Hospital Measures-Urethra')" during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"

      Per the measure logic guidance, in order for something to be "during" an encounter, it has to have a start and end date time, since you're specifically looking at the start datetime here, the logic should say:

      AND: "Occurrence A of Device, Applied: Hospital Measures-Indwelling urinary catheter (start datetime, anatomical structure: 'Hospital Measures-Urethra')" STARTS during "Occurrence A of Encounter, Performed: Encounter Inpatient"
