Seq#5203 (Stress Test Risk-Extent of Ischemia)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the coding of stress test risk and extent of ischemia based on physician documentation or interpretation. Coding should align with the data dictionary guidelines, but can also be based on the physician's assessment. However, if the documentation is unclear, it is important to confirm with the physician to ensure accuracy. If clarification is not possible and there is insufficient documentation, "unavailable" should be coded. This process ensures that the stress test results are coded accurately, reflecting the experience and outcome of the test.
