1. We would like clarification on palliative care exclusions, if patients have an order for palliative care consult, and that order gets manually discontinued few days later prior to patient discharge. Will that patient be automatically excluded from the measure.

2. Also, if an order was placed but the patient refused or consult didn't occur, and regardless of the reason the consult was ordered, will that also place the patient automatically in the exclusion criteria

Thank you
