Hi Everyone I'm just curious if anyone has encountered this issue and would you have a possible solution?
For VTE, My colleague uses the admission date of when the order was written for "Admit to Inpatient." This is per the CMS guideline for VTE. When she queried QNet earlier this year, they said that the admission date data element should be abstracted the same way for all the core measures. I, on the other hand, have to at times use the actual day the patient had an encounter, which is usually the day they were admitted to the ED for Sepsis measure. This creates a conflict because the admission data element is different for sepsis as compared to VTE. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks Regards Salome .
