CQI Voted not to create new terms but instead to modify definitions of existing terms: Numerator: Numerator criteria define the patients or events that should be included in the upper portion of a fraction used to calculate a rate, proportion, or ratio. Also called the measure focus, it is the target process, condition, event, or outcome. Numerator criteria are the processes or outcomes expected for each patient, or event defined in the denominator. A numerator statement describes the clinical action that satisfies the conditions of the measure. Denominator: Denominator criteria define the patients or events that should be included in the lower portion of a fraction used to calculate a rate, proportion, or ratio. The denominator criteria can be the same as that of the initial population, or a subset of the initial population to further constrain the population for the purpose of the measure. No need to update definition for Measure Population since it already includes indication that it represents the criteria for inclusion. Also will add concept maps relating the new terms to their HQMF equivalents.
