      Thank you for your question regarding the STK eCQM measures. For qualifying STK measure encounter to meet the IPP the patient will need to meet the criteria, 18 years or older, Nonelective Inpatient Admission, and primary diagnosis of Ischemic or Hemorrhagic stroke within the measurement period.

      TJC.Ischemic Stroke Encounter
      "Non Elective Encounter with Age" NonElectiveEncounterWithAge
        where exists ( NonElectiveEncounterWithAge.diagnoses Diagnosis
            where Diagnosis.code in "Ischemic Stroke"
              and Diagnosis.rank = 1
        )
      If the patient was admitted to the hospital then encounter would qualify for the measure.

    • Need to clarify we are pulling in the correct patients to the measure

      Please help me to understand the logic:
      If a patient with a diagnosis of stroke is made inpatient and then changed to observation and discharged in observation, would they be pulled in to the initial population even though they were discharged in observation status?
