Summary of what is different for International Participants in the Data Collection Tool

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the process of creating a demographics account for patients in order to enter data. It emphasizes that the demographics account is interoperable with all NCDR registries and only needs to be entered once. For international participants, the social security number and zip code information are not applicable and should be marked as such. The video also mentions that the health insurance claim (HIC) number and patient restriction information are relevant only to US facilities. The video then explains how to answer operator-related questions in the registry, including selecting from a drop-down box of operating physicians. It highlights the importance of maintaining an accurate list of operators for proper data entry. International participants do not need an NPI number for their physicians, as it will be auto-populated by NCDR.
