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, known as Sequence 4561, is a crucial part of the CAF-PCI pathway. It records the patient's physical condition before the CAF-PCI procedure, using any descriptive documentation in the medical record from any clinician. For example, if a patient reports a change in their activity level, inability to walk due to pain, or if a physician notes a specific frailty scale, it indicates vulnerability. Physician confirmation of vulnerability, based on their familiarity with the scale, is key for coding.
