Term Description

A question asked to determine if the patient is considered a 'risky drinker'. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, an electronic Clinical Quality Measure (eCQM) to be used in the CMS EHR Incentive Program for Meaningful Use. 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.
