1.14 Numerator
There is not a traditional numerator for this measure; the measure is calculating the average change in functional status score from pre-operative to post-operative functional status score. The measure is NOT aiming for a numerator target value for a post-operative ODI score.
For example:
The average change in low back function was an increase in 17.2 points one year post-operatively on a 100 point scale.
