    • Without knowing the expectation on the exact format CMS is expecting for the <value> element, each vendor may code this differently and that could potentially lead to mismatches in the interpretation and calculation of this eCQM.

      This eCQM has 4 risk variables, results for which have to be returned as Decimals. Thi sis different from how these are being handled in Hybrid Measures where they are being returned as a physical quantity with specific units specified. 

      In the Cypress Test files for this CMS832 eCQM, I could find one example where Heart Rate (see attached xml file) QDM is provided as follows.  The value is provided as an INT without any units specified. 

      Is this the correct and expected format for inclusion of the value in for these 4 Risk Variables? or should the valid format be something like the following - 

      <value xsi:type="PQ" value="80" unit = "{Beats}/min"/>
