    • Thank you for your question about CMS334v5 Cesarean Birth. Yes, nurses are clinicians that may document these elements. However, to be sure about how your system's reports are pulled, check with your IT department and EHR vendor. We hope this helps.

      The measure specification states that the elements "gravida, parity, preterm and term live births" can be updated by the EHR software or by clinicians during the delivery encounter.  Currently we have a form in our EHR were this information is recorded on admission.  It is completed by the patient's nurse.  Are nurses considered clinicians for documentation purposes concerning these elements?
