      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS108v12/VTE-1 (Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis), and CMS190v12/VTE-2 (Intensive Care Unit Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis). For CMS108v12/VTE-1, the measure excludes patients from the denominator who have a length of stay less than 2 days, as well as patients directly admitted to the ICU or transferred to ICU the day of or the day after hospital admission, with ICU length of stay of one day or more. For CMS190v12/VTE-2, the measure excludes patients from the denominator who have a hospital length of stay less than 2 days, but includes patients directly admitted or transferred to the ICU.

    • CMS0108v12, CMS0190v12
    • Affects audits and capturing of data.

      "Direct admits to intensive care unit (ICU), or transferred to ICU the day of or the day after hospital admission with ICU length of stay greater than or equal to one day" listed for both eCQMFlows under denominator exclusion.  Should this not state "ICU length of stay less than 2 days for VTE 2"? 

      Denominator Exclusions (specs for VTE 2)

      • "Encounter with ICU Location And Encounter Less Than 2 Days"
