If you click on Meaningful use (green square) on the right upper corner of the screen,you well get another screen showing all the core measures and its requirements. Click on core 8: Record Vital signs. another pop up screen will show the objective and measure , exclusion
In the exclusion :it read Any Elgible Provider who belive that all three vitals signs of (height, weight, and blood pressureof the therir patients have no relevance to their scope of practice.

I belive this mean surgeons may be excluded base on that. These vitals has no relevance to my practice as a surgeon.
I hope this would help.
