      Thank you for your inquiry on CMS108v12 Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis. According to the info provided, this patient should meet the numerator because SCDs was placed on 10/16 0929 after arrival time 10/16 0832 only if the "Hospitalization with Observation" ends within 1 hour before inpatient admission time.

      We recommend that you work with their EHR vendor or quality staff to remediate the issue.

      Can you help me understand how the following scenario has caused a fallout for VTE-1? I believe it has something to do with the timing of surgery and the inpatient admission date/time, but I need to be certain. 

      • Patient arrived 10/16 0832
      • SCDs placed 10/16 0929
      • Hip replacement surgery performed 10/16 1243 (not principal procedure)
      • Inpatient admission 10/17 1018
      • No other VTE prophylaxis until 10/19
