      Thank you for your question regarding CMS506v7 Safe Use of Opioids - Concurrent Prescribing. The measure specification does not include observation status discharges as part of the initial patient population (IPP). An inpatient hospitalization is identified 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). If a patient is admitted to observation and then discharged, they will not be in the population for the measure.
