12.14.2018 Hospitalization for Potentially Preventable Complications On page 453 of the HPC measure, the language for the first sentence in step 3 under “Chronic ACSC” is different than the language for the first sentence in step 3 under “Acute ACSC”. Is the difference in the language intentional?

No, the difference in the language is not intentional and the reference to “on the discharge claim” was unintentionally excluded. Step 3 for Acute ACSC should contain the same language as step 3 for chronic ACSC. In step 3 for ACSC, for the remaining acute inpatient and observation stay discharges, organizations should identify discharges with specified criteria on the discharge.
