A discharge to a designated cancer center or children's hospital should be captured as a discharge to an acute care facility.
It is acceptable to calculate Gestational Age using the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ReVITALize guidelines, which define Gestational Age as calculated using the best obstetrical Estimated Due Date (EDD) based on the formula:
Gestational Age= (280-(EDD-Reference Date))/7
where Reference Date is the date on which you are trying to determine gestational age. For PC-05, Reference Date is the Birth Date.
Note however that the calculation may yield a non-whole number and gestational age should be rounded off to the nearest completed week. For example, an infant born on the 5th day of the 36th week (35 weeks and 5/7 days) is at a gestational age of 35 weeks, not 36 weeks.
Data shows that the majority of newborns with gestational age 37 weeks or more have a birth weight 3000 grams or more. Birth weight 3000 grams or more is a proxy to capture term newborns without gestational age recorded in EHR system.
This eCQM is an episode-based measure.
This version of the eCQM uses QDM version 5.5. Please refer to the eCQI resource center for more information on the QDM.

Data shows that the majority of newborns with gestational age 37 weeks or more have a birth weight 3000 grams or more. Birth weight 3000 grams or more is a proxy to capture term newborns without gestational age recorded in EHR system. Only one birth weight value should be recorded. In cases where there is conflicting data, use the document recording the birth weight closest to the time of delivery.
If dextrose or glucose 40% gel is given, it is considered a medication not a feeding. This should be reflected as such in the newborn's EHR documentation.
This eCQM is an episode-based measure. An episode is defined as each inpatient hospitalization or encounter that ends during the measurement period.
