      Thank you for your question regarding CMS506v7 Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. The denominator for this measure is, "Inpatient hospitalizations that end during the measurement period, where the patient is 18 years of age and older at the start of the encounter and prescribed one or more new or continuing opioid or benzodiazepine at discharge." Therefore, if the patient in the example was prescribed an opioid at discharge from the encounter described as "inpatient 10/09/2024 at 1254" they will be included in the denominator. If they are prescribed two or more opioids, they will be included in the numerator as well.

    • Need to know if we are pulling in patients appropriately to the measure

      Please help me understand if the patient should be in the measure:

      patient class is outpatient surgery on 10/09/2024 @ 0523, then made inpatient 10/09/2024 at 1254, then made observation 10/09/2024 at 1604, and discharged observation 10/10/2024 at 1448

      Thank you,

      Amanda
