Measure Changes
The following changes will result in more accurate results for some users, depending on their codes and data entry patterns.
- All Polypharmacy measures have been updated to deduplicate records based on their ATC code vs the DIN code. This will ensure we only count a medication once even though it may have been prescribed in multiple formulations. This change has resulted in Polypharmacy measures no longer being supported for WOLF
- The way we identify Hemoglobin A1C tests has been improved by adding new codes
- We have added additional codes and logic to how we identify Pap Smear tests
- We have increased the number of “provider types” that represent a physician within MOIS
- Made minor improvements in how we identify Blood Pressure measurements
