Hello, Ivana,

How are you doing?

As per the eCQI e-Specification of this measure, it is supposed to have 2 strata

Stratum 1 - Patients age 3-11  
Stratum 2 - Patients age 12-17

It has 3 performance rates that to be reported for each strata.

Patients who had a height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) percentile recorded during the measurement period
Patients who had counseling for nutrition during a visit that occurs during the measurement period
Patients who had counseling for physical activity during a visit that occurs during the measurement period


However according to https://github.com/CMSgov/qpp-measures-data/blob/master/measures/measures-data.json#L11735, you are defining the performance rates as the strata and there is no mention of the strata as required by e-specified version of CMSv155v5.

Here is the link to e-specified version of Measure CMS 155. https://ecqi.healthit.gov/system/files/ecqm/measures/CMS155v5_3.html
