Suggested change to code in Parental Refusal value set

      Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention. The situational concept of a mother’s refusal to breastfeed has been changed to incorporate the concept of ‘communication from patient to provider for a finding of: feeding intention- breast’. This updated logic was included in the April 1, 2014 EH annual update.

    • Semantic drift in meaning. Slight impact.

      I think the code of 434581000124103 Mother refuses to breastfeed (situation) in the Parental Refusal value set isn't quite correct. The measure is interested in 'exclusive breastfeeding'. This code makes it sound like there is no breastfeeding. Also the word 'refuses' is pretty judgmental and this is a sensitive issue. There are several instances where the mom is breastfeeding, but not exclusively. This code would be more accurate if it were 'Mother chooses to not exclusively breastfeed.'

      There also needs to be a code where the baby's glucose was low, so they had to feed the baby to keep the glucose up
