      In our Health System, we use Sorian Financial to determine the final ICD Diagnosis Codes and ICD Procedure Codes but our Vendor Uses both Sorian Financial and our Medical Record (Cerner) for capturing the Diagnosis Codes increasing our STEMI Population even if the Final diagnosis was NSTEMI and not STEMI diagnosis. It has a big impact in our Performance score.

      In grouping the STEMI cohort for eCQM, is it not right to capture only the final diagnosis code? In our case, the final diagnosis and procedure codes are in Sorian Financial, is it Sorian Financial to be the data source for capturing STEMI diagnosis to group to the Initial Patient Population Denominator?
