Clinical Instructions

New UI Visit Encounter (valid RC202109+)

Original Visit Encounter

Track all patients aged 18+ prescribed beta-blocker therapy within a 12-month period of the diagnosis of coronary artery disease with prior myocardial infarction (MI) or a current or prior LVEF < 40%.

  1. Ensure patient has one of the following diagnoses:
    1. Moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction (disorder) - SNOMED 981000124106
    2. Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (disorder) - SNOMED 991000124109
  2. Numerator will be populated with patients prescribed a beta-blocker therapy within the measure period.
