Each CV-ASC procedure pathway is assigned unique and specific events. The entire team, including ambulatory, surgery, center, and office-based lab stakeholders thoughtfully and concisely appointed these events to the respective pathway based on reporting needs and keeping in mind the need for a lean data set. So while the data dictionary lists every possible event that could be used within the registry, sequences are applied in the backend to allow certain events to appear in the specific pathway when using the data collection tool. Thus, the easiest means to know which events are captured for a single procedure is the data collection form. Sequence 9001, intra- or post-procedure events, is indicating if the event occurred between the start of the procedure and the next procedure, or discharge. While this data element is shared with our hospital registries, where multiple procedures may occur during one episode of care, the ASC registry is initially built to handle one pathway per episode of care. Thus, the target value for an ASC is better understood if written any occurrence between start of procedure and discharge.
