Video Transcription

Video Summary

The scenario involves a patient with STEMI who did not receive thrombolytic therapy but instead underwent urgent PCI and CABG. The initial reperfusion strategy involved activating the cath lab, and CABG was performed after identifying triple vessel disease with high-grade stenosis. An error in coding initially marked thrombolytics as "no reason," but it was corrected to "no medical reason" since PCI or CABG was chosen for reperfusion. The patient was not included in metric 17 reperfusion therapy due to this coding error, which was revised after a weekly dashboard review.
