Rhoopa,
From my understanding, Vizient employs skip logic, and the
failure to obtain a lactate on a person who is suspected of Severe Sepsis would
be considered a fail. Vizient greys out the rest of the data, preventing you
from extracting the rest.
Thanks,

Hi,
I wanted to know if any hospital has been validated by CMS for Core Measure
SEP-1. My question is, are we supposed to use branching logic for abstraction?
For example, if we answer 'Yes' to Severe sepsis, but we don't have an Initial
Lactate collected and we say 'No' to Initial Lactate question; do we stop at
that point or do we have to still go ahead and answer the rest of the questions?
If anyone has been validated, what did you do? If you used branching logic (did
not answer rest of the questions) was it taken against the hospital and
considered as 'wrong' abstraction?
Thank you,
