    • Our Epic Connect Partner is including observation status discharges in our Inpatient measures.

      Our QRDA file that is generated for us by our Epic Connect Partner is including patients who are discharged in an observation status. Does the measure specification include or exclude observation status discharges? 

      What is the definition of "inpatient hospitalization"? Do "inpatient hospitalizations" include observation status?

      If a patient is "admitted" to observation status with an observation order, and then discharged while in observation status, are they included in the population for the measure?
