CV ASC Registry Education-CathPCI Pathways Condition History’s Child Field

Video Transcription

Both cath PCI pathways, which include diagnostic coronary angiography only or PCI with or without  coronary angiography, want to know the date of the patient's most recent myocardial infarction that occurred prior to arrival at your facility.  If the month or day of the most recent myocardial infarction is unknown, please use 0101 and insert the year.  If the year is unknown, it may be estimated based on timeframes found in the medical record.  For example, if the patient had the verbiage of most recent myocardial infarction documented  in a record from 2011, then the year, in this case 2011, can be used to support coding 01-01-2011.

Video Summary

The video discusses determining the date of a patient's most recent myocardial infarction before arriving at a medical facility. This information is crucial for both cath PCI pathways - diagnostic coronary angiography and PCI with or without coronary angiography. If the month or day of the event is unknown, use 0101 as a placeholder and insert the year. The year can be estimated based on the timeframe mentioned in the medical records. For instance, if the patient's last myocardial infarction was noted in a record from 2011, this year can be used to support coding as 01-01-2011.
