    • Expand falls value set to include all possible fall ICD10 codes so POA can be captured or remove SNOMED 161898004: Falls (finding) from Numerator criteria.
    • CMS1017v2
    • Numerator exclusion is not being applied to patients that have POA ICD10 codes capturing falls outside of the hospital while skiing or in snow, skewing rate of falls

      Patients are pulled into the numerator due to SNOMED 161898004: Falls (finding), but the fall ICD10 that is being marked POA (or exempt) is not captured, because it is not included in falls value sets. 

      Examples:

      V00.321A    Fall from snow-skis, initial encounter    Exempt from POA reporting

      W00.0XXA    Fall on same level due to ice and snow, initial encounter
