Allow for entry of "Health Equipment Use" in Social History without requiring a "Began Use" date

We are requesting that the "Began Use" date be removed as a required field while entering health equipment in patients in Health history --> Social History. When admitting a patient, we do not always know when they started needing oxygen, wheelchairs, walkers, CPAPs, etc. It is cumbersome to be required to enter the date, but we want to capture what DME the patient currently has to identify what the patient may need for assistance upon dismissal. We should be able to select the equipment and save.

    Reviewing all requirements in the software that use the Health History - 'Health Equipment Use' data. I have found that Quality Measures uses this data and the dates are used. I am trying to determine if the dates are required and if they are, can they be soft dates. Example: just the Year or Month/Year and not a specific date.
