Action Item #4: Know NCDR Terminology and Acronyms!-DQR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video explains the process of submitting data files to the NCDR and the importance of completing the data quality report (DQR). All submissions are evaluated for errors and completeness, and a report with a green, yellow, or red status is returned to participants. A green status means the data submission process is complete, yellow indicates passing the data assessment but failing the completeness assessment, and red indicates validation errors. Participants are encouraged to review and correct any issues identified by the DQR for yellow or red submissions. The DQR process categorizes patients into quarters based on hospital discharge dates. Separate follow-up data submissions have their own schedules and deadlines, which can be found on the ncdr.com website. It is emphasized that the base submission DQR must be completed before any follow-up submissions. The specific coding instructions for admission, addition periods, and inclusion/exclusion criteria are determined through individual registry review.
