    • Are IPF patients included in this measure?

      Our hospital is a general acute care hospital that also has a PPS-Exempt IPF.  Currently, the IPF patients are included in our ecqm measures.  Is the intention to only include PPS patients or to add the IPF patients as well?  We feel this will skew our numbers because of the types of patients these are and the required medication regimen they are discharged on.
