Seq#10207 (Discharge Medication Dose)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses how to capture the prescribed dose of statin medication on discharge in the context of coronary angiography procedures. The dose categories include low, moderate, and high, following ACC AHA Guidelines on Blood Cholesterol Management. For instance, if atorvastatin 40mg is prescribed, it would be classified as high dose. If the prescribed dose does not fit within the defined categories or falls between two categories, the lower intensity is coded. Examples like prescribing 5mg of simvastatin would result in leaving this data element blank. Overall, the guidelines aim to standardize coding for statin medication dosages on discharge.
