      Thank you for your question on CMS871: Hospital Harm - Severe Hyperglycemia. This measure calculates the ratio of the number of inpatient hospital days with a hyperglycemic (high blood glucose) event over the total number of eligible inpatient hospital days (<= 10 days) for that encounter. It should not be reported as a patient rate or patient day rate.

      Hello - can you confirm if the numerator and denominator for the Hyperglycemia measures is patient with event/eligible patients OR if it is # of patient days with high BG/# number of eligible patient days (<=10 days).  I am not clear how this will be reported as a patient rate or as a patient days rate.
