      Thank you for your question regarding CMS506v6, Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. Based on the information provided, the patient in the example would not be included in the inpatient population because the medication profile at the time of inpatient discharge is used for this measure. The measure identifies an inpatient hospitalization by the value set "Encounter Inpatient" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.307) which includes Emergency hospital admission (procedure) (183452005), Hospital admission (procedure) (32485007), and Hospital admission elective (procedure) (8715000). The measure does not intend to capture discharges other than inpatient discharges, therefore, we encourage you to work with your EHR vendor to ensure observation and other outpatient encounters are not inappropriately captured by the measure.

    • CMS0506v6
    • Need to verify we are pulling in correctly to the measure

      Please help me understand if this patient would be included in the numerator:

      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 with 2 opioids prescribed at discharge.  Of note the patient status changed from inpatient to observation and was discharged while in observation status

      Thank you
