For VTE-1 the specs indicate that surgeries prior to admission would not count in the calcuations, even on the same day. This seems to violate the spirit of the measure. Can you clarify?

      VTE 1 specifications state that surgeries prior to admission would not count in the calculations. However, for VTE, this would be important to include recent surgeries (even that same day) to meet the spirit / intent of the measure. Can you clarify?
