CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#15510 (Condition History Occurrence)

Video Transcription

Each cardiovascular ASC procedure pathway is assigned unique and specific condition history data elements.  The entire team, including ambulatory surgery centers and office-based lab stakeholders, thoughtfully and concisely appointed these patient conditions to the respective pathway  based on reporting needs and keeping in mind the need for a lean dataset. So while the data dictionary lists every possible condition history that could be used within  the entire CV ASC registry, constraints are applied in the backend to only allow certain conditions to appear in the specific pathway chosen when using the data collection tool.  Thus, the easiest means to know which conditions are captured for a single procedure is the data collection form.  To code YES in sequence 15510, Condition History Occurrence, there must be a clinical diagnosis of the indicated medical condition.  And the data dictionary does provide education on what the medical condition is if our users are unfamiliar.  All pathways have child fields that seek more information when a documented clinical diagnosis  is captured in the patient's history, which we will review in depth in upcoming slides.

Video Summary

The cardiovascular ASC procedure pathways are tailored with specific patient condition history data elements based on reporting needs. These conditions are selected thoughtfully to maintain a lean dataset. The data dictionary includes all possible condition history options, but only relevant conditions are allowed in a chosen pathway during data collection. To indicate a medical condition, a clinical diagnosis is required. Further details about each condition can be found in the data dictionary for reference. Pathways also include child fields for additional information related to documented clinical diagnoses in the patient's history, which will be explored in detail in subsequent sections.
