      Thank you for your inquiry about CMS139v12. This measure looks for the percentage of every patient 65 years of age and older, who had a qualifying encounter visit during the measurement period, and were screened for future fall risk at least once within the measurement period. The measure's numerator looks for documentation of an assessment via QDM datatype "Assessment, Performed" encoded with any of the following codes from the “Falls Screening” value set (2.16.840.1.113883.3.464.1003.118.12.1028) that is performed on a date/time during the measurement period. It is the correct understanding that 'at least once within the measurement period' requires patients to have been screened for fall risk at least one time during the year.

    • For measures that require once per measurement year - would once a year meet the metric.

      Specifically, for Falls screening and Plan of care for Falls how often is meant by once per performance period?
