EQuIPP: Updated Language Posted on EQuIPP Dashboard

PQS has moved details and language within the EQuIPP dashboard for all users as it relates to qualifying patient counts (i.e. denominators). The information previously in the resources section and has been moved to the bottom of the dashboard main page along with the ‘Analyze Performance’ pages.   The language below clarifies the use of performance data associated with smaller population sizes.  There is no change in any calculations or functions within EQuIPP.  We have been asked to move this by the Pharmacy Quality Alliance (PQA). Please note:  These recommendations are provided in the PQA Measure Manual, which PQS uses as standard measure evaluation for many of the quality measures hosted in EQuIPP.
