We work with some hospitals that result INR with a > sign (ex: >8.0), and not a specific numeric result. We are, at this time, unable to evaluate the data because of the > sign. How do you suggest we handle this? How should this result be evaluated? How should this data be submitted in the QRDA file? Per these hospitals, the result of > is driven by the instrument they are using and can't be altered. Logic is: union ( ["Laboratory Test, Performed": "INR"] INRLabTest where INRLabTest.result > 3.0 return "Assessment, Performed" { id: INRLabTest.id, authorDatetime: INRLabTest.resultDatetime }

For 2019, the interval "IVL" data type is supported. You would, for example, report it as as IVL_REAL or and IVL_PQ as shown below:             <value xsi:type="IVL_REAL">                 <low value="8"/>               </value>               <value xsi:type="IVL_PQ">                 <low value="140" unit="mmHg" inclusive="true"/>               </value> The logic for comparing intervals deserves some considerations. For example: if measure requires “>3”,  and if data reported as below, the outcomes will vary:  > 4 : passes the rule, as the data fully meets the criteria, as any number greater than 4 is also greater than criteria required in the condition >3 < 8 : does NOT pass the rule, because <8 partially meets the criteria, as data that is <= 3 does not meet criteria > 2 : does NOT pass the rule, because >2 partially meets the criteria, as data that is <=3 does not meet criteria
