      Thank you for your question regarding CMS506v6, Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. Please clarify if you are referring to "Diagnosis": "All Primary and Secondary Cancer."

      If you were asking about "Diagnosis": "All Primary and Secondary Cancer" abatement dateTime refers to when the primary or secondary cancer diagnosis is resolved or goes into remission. As you noted from the QDM v5.6 manual, If the abatement dateTime is not present, then the diagnosis is considered to still be active.

      Please define "abatement date/time" as it applies to the following:

      "Diagnosis": "All Primary and Secondary Diagnosis"

      QDM Datatype and Definition

      Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document the Condition/Diagnosis/Problem and its corresponding value set. The onset dateTime corresponds to the implicit start dateTime of the datatype and the abatement dateTime corresponds to the implicit stop dateTime of the datatype. If the abatement dateTime is not present, then the diagnosis is considered to still be active. When this datatype is used with timing relationships, the criterion is looking for an active diagnosis for the time frame indicated by the timing relationships.

      Timing: The prevalencePeriod references the time from the onset date to the abatement date.
