Group, We are continuing to not meet the CMS bundle for fluids due to fluids being given prior to admission. Our EMS services work off of state protocols and do not document discrete time fields of start, finish, type of fluid, and rate. We do have a place on our triage form that requires an entry of EMS volume of fluid: zero or amount. If the ED admit MD order states 30ml/kg to include EMA fluids, will this count as passing the measure? Would like to know what other solutions are to meet this piece of the measure. We are doing the right thing in our ED but keep missing the measure.
