CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#10200 (Discharge Medication Code)

Video Transcription

Each CV ASC procedure pathway is assigned unique and specific discharge medications. The entire team, including ambulatory, surgery center, and office-based lab stakeholders,  thoughtfully and concisely appointed these medications to their respective pathway based on reporting needs and keeping in mind the need for a lean data set.  So while the data dictionary lists every possible discharge medication that could be used within  the entire registry, constraints are applied in the back end to allow certain medications to appear once a specific pathway is selected in the data collection tool.  Thus, the easiest means to know which medications are captured for a single procedure is the data collection form.  Additionally, discharge medications will only be made available for capture if the patient is alive at discharge or rather and they discharge anywhere other than another acute  care hospital or leaving against medical advice. Discharge medications are controlled by the medication master file, which is managed by the NCDR.  If additional medications need added for capture, the NCDR will update the master file. For ACC data collection tool users, these updates occur automatically.  For third-party vendor tool users, the list is made available for downloading and uploading  into the application from the ASC Registry website under Resources with the label Technology Downloads.

Video Summary

The CV ASC procedure pathways have specific discharge medications assigned by the team to streamline reporting and maintain a minimal data set. The data dictionary includes all possible medications but constraints are in place to show only relevant medications based on the selected pathway. Medications are captured on the data collection form, available if the patient is alive at discharge. The NCDR manages the medication master file, updating it as needed. For ACC tool users, updates happen automatically, while third-party users can download the list from the ASC Registry website. This process ensures accurate and efficient medication tracking for CV ASC procedures.
