      Thank you for your inquiry into CMS986, the Global Malnutrition Composite Score. The requirement to meet Measure Observation #4 is that a Nutrition Care Plan was initiated and documented in the setting of a patient with moderate or severe malnutrition. Because the nature of nutrition interventions and care plans are dynamic and ongoing, completion of the nutrition care plan is not always expected prior to a patient’s discharge.

      Please clarify if an outcome is required for the Nutrition Care Plan to count as "performed" (such as "met" or "in progress") OR if the requirement to meet the Measure Outcome (#4) is simply that a Nutrition Care Plan was initiated (Plus the Nutrition Assessment with Moderately or Severely Malnourished)
