      Thank you for your inquiry regarding CMS996v5: Appropriate Treatment for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) Patients in the Emergency Department (ED). In alignment with clinical best practice, the measure intends to capture the time from ED arrival to balloon inflation (i.e., intervention time). It is ideal to capture the time of balloon inflation or reperfusion, and map to the relevantPeriod start time attribute of the “Procedure, Performed” QDM data element. The value set for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (2.16.840.1.113883.3.3157.2000.5) includes CPT codes for balloon dilation.

      What time should we be picking up?
      We have two times. The first is the advancement of the balloon catheter to target vessel. The second time is "PTCA balloon was inflated."
