| Solution: | Thank you for reporting this issue. The First operator should apply to the Union of $MedicationWarfarinParenteralAnticoagulantOverlap. In the upcoming annual update, we will revisit the logic to ensure the scope of application of the First operator is clear. The remaining logic relies on occurrences to constrain $MedicationWarfarinParenteralAnticoagulantOverlap, to the first instance. For more information on how occurrences work with subset operators, such as the First operator, please refer to section 4.5.1 Subset Operators and Specific Occurrences of the eCQM Measure Logic Guidance (https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Legislation/EHRIncentivePrograms/Downloads/eCQM_LogicGuidance_v1-11_061915.pdf), which is published along with eCQM specifications. |
