      Thank you for your inquiry specific to CMS816 and CMS871. When a patient is transitioned from an inpatient admission at a facility to hospital‑at‑home, the hospital‑at‑home days are considered a continuation of the inpatient hospitalization. Specifically, the encounter continues to be included in the Inpatient Encounter value set (OID: 2.16.840.1.113883.3.666.5.307), and therefore, the hospital-at-home days are included in the measure calculation, provided all other denominator criteria are met.

      If a  patient is transitioned from IP status at a facility to hospital at home, are the HAH days included in the hyper and hypoglycemia measures? Thank you.
