Seq#4561 (Canadian Study of Health and Aging (CSHA) Clinical Frailty Scale)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The Canadian Study of Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale, Sequence 4561, is used on patients undergoing the CAF-PCI pathway to assess their current physical condition. Any clinician-documented information indicating a change in physical ability, such as inability to walk due to pain, can be classified as vulnerable. Physician reports on frailty also help determine vulnerability status, with physician confirmation of a patient being "vulnerable" being sufficient to code them as such, provided the physician understands the scale. This process ensures accurate assessment and categorization of patients based on their physical condition before the CAF-PCI procedure.
