12.15.2017 Transitions of Care The HEDIS 2018 Volume 2 Technical Update states that documenting preadmission exams and communicating planned admissions are not limited to the time frame criteria as other evidence for the Notification of Inpatient Admission indicator. Are there time frames that must be met?

No. There are no additional time frame requirements for preadmission exams or communicating about planned admissions, other than what is documented in the measure specifications. For example, it may meet the standard time frame (on the day of admission or the following day) or it may occur earlier. To prevent information from "different discharges" from being counted, the measure requires that it "must clearly pertain to the denominator event."
