PC-05 Exclusive breast milk feeding during the newborn's entire hospitalization.
The measure is reported as an overall rate which includes all newborns that were exclusively fed breast milk during the entire hospitalization.
A discharge to a designated cancer center or children's hospital should be captured as a discharge to an acute care facility.
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.
Added statement to header description that explains measure rate to better align with the clinical intent and the chart-abstracted version of the measure.
