After auditing this BMI rule, we found it to be alerting more often than expected.  We adjusted the rule today to alert on BMI >60 instead, which should decrease its occurrence but still capture those where weight/height may have been incorrectly recorded.  Please let us know if there are any additional issues experienced.  Thank you.
