0521 - Metric # 8 | Aspirin at Discharge

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the case scenario involves a 38-year-old male with multiple health conditions who presents for a Cath Lab visit. The physician treats a 90% mid-RCA lesion with a drug-eluting stent during the same visit. On discharge, the patient is prescribed clopidogrel but not aspirin. Aspirin is coded as number 2, indicating it was not prescribed with no reason given. The patient is not eligible for metric 8 (aspirin at discharge), as they were not prescribed aspirin, but they qualify for metric 38 (composite medications prescribed at discharge) because they were prescribed all eligible medications, including an anticoagulant and a P2Y12 inhibitor. This patient scenario was part of the CAHPS PCI Registry Monthly Case Scenario for May 2021.
