      Add words in the Missing Data section to use $care-gaps to determine if data is missing:

      Use the following text: The $care-gaps report indicates instances in which information does not support the occurrence of an expected action. The report indicates absence of evidence; it cannot differentiate between activity that happened yet is missing from the record or from activities that did not occur. However, both of these situations result in the $care-gaps and the provider is notified in that report.  Missing data may be identified in a GuidanceResponse resource as shown in http://build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/davinci-deqm/StructureDefinition-gaps-detectedissue-deqm.html.

    Description

      The AMA cautions that the provider should be notified if there are missing data. If missing data is going to lead to a negative quality assessment for the provider, then the provider should be made aware of this issue.

      Existing Wording:

      Missing Data : In other words, the CQM addresses how it factors in missing data when calculating criteria, and it is the job of the individual measure report to include relevant data that was present in the EHR, and to not include data that was missing from the EHR.
