The eCQM allows for multiple ways to screen for alcohol misuse, including AUDIT-C [LOINC: 75626-2] or one of two questions that assess whether the patient consumes alcohol [LOINC: 75855-7] and the frequency of heavy drinking days (this LOINC). The LOINC for five (5) or more drinks per day is [LOINC: 88037-7].
