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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, it is explained that percentage thresholds are assigned to every data element within a registry. When data is submitted for the data quality report process, the system electronically reviews each data element to check if the assigned threshold has been met. If a threshold of 90% has been set for a specific element and the element is completed 10 out of 10 times, it is considered a passing status with 100%. However, if the element is answered only 8 out of 10 times, it is considered a failing status because the 90% threshold is not met. To be included in benchmark comparison reporting, all thresholds must be met. The DQR report will help identify failing elements for review.
