      Thank you for your question about CMS1028/PC-07 Severe Obstetric Complications.

      The measure does not evaluate the number of blood transfusion units a patient received. However, the applicable transfusion types can be identified via the value set Blood Transfusion (OID: 2.16.840.1.113762.1.4.1029.245).

      All changes for each measurement period may be reviewed on the eCQI Resource Center at https://ecqi.healthit.gov/. Select [Inpatient eCQMs], filter by the selected period, select the measure of interest, and find the Technical Release Notes (Excel) in the [Specifications and Data Elements] tab on the measure's webpage. You will see that the Denominator Exclusion for patients with COVID-related respiratory conditions or procedures was removed for measurement period 2026.

      Can you clarify how blood transfusions are considered as a procedure for PC-07 Severe Maternal Morbidity measure in Population 1.  Is it only whole blood and packed red blood cells and any number of units due to it being a procedure.  Meaning, a patient can receive 1 unit of packed red blood cells and meet criteria to be in Population 1.  

       

      Are there any new inclusions or exclusions for 2026?
