    • Missed populations with a gap in calculation of BMI.

      There appears to be a gap in the espec with the calculation for the BMI. One part of the epsec asks for BMI to be <= 24.9 in one section, and >= 25 in another. This leaves this gap (24.91 -> 24.99) of patients not qualifying for reporting that should be. Our EHR's do not round up on BMI
      -Can you clarify if this is an intentional gap?
      -If it is, how soon will the espec be fixed as clients are looking for the resolution.
