    • Lack of clarity on the initial population definition may lead to incorrect results

      For the 2025 CMS349v7 HIV Screening measure the initial population definition is: 

      Patients 15 to 65 years of age at the start of the measurement period AND who had at least one outpatient visit during the day of the measurement period

       

      In the definition, what does "during the day of" mean? This phrase is new language compared to the 2024 version, and when I read the initial population definition the sentence does not make sense. Is it just an error because when I look at the logic statements for 2024 and 2025 they are the same?
