CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#4625 (Tobacco Use)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video transcript, it explains the importance of coding tobacco use in patient data for diagnostic procedures. The focus is on tobacco specifically, not nicotine from devices like vaping. The definitions align with industry standards for electronic medical records and meaningful use. The coding can be based on documented tobacco use, such as former smoker of cigars coded as former, or using descriptive documentation that meets the data dictionary definition. If smoking status is unknown with no documentation, it would be coded as unknown.
