Numerator patient being included for a injury not related to the fall.
An inpatient was admitted for a moderate injury. They were being treated for the injury and had a fall while in the hospital. The admitted injury was not related to a fall. The patient is still being reported as a numerator due to the Adverse Fall event and the moderate injury coding although injury was not related to the fall. Can you please advise how the current specifications address if you have a valid fall and a valid injury included in the value set that are pulling into the report but are not related? Thank you.
