CV ASC Registry Education-CathPCI Pathways Condition History’s Child Field

Video Transcription

Both cath PCI pathways, which include diagnostic coronary angiography only or PCI with or without  coronary angiography, want to know the date of the patient's most recent myocardial infarction that occurred prior to arrival at your facility.  If the month or day of the most recent myocardial infarction is unknown, please use 0101 and insert the year.  If the year is unknown, it may be estimated based on timeframes found in the medical record.  For example, if the patient had the verbiage of most recent myocardial infarction documented  in a record from 2011, then the year, in this case 2011, can be used to support coding 01-01-2011.

Video Summary

The video discusses two catheter PCI pathways, one for diagnostic coronary angiography only and the other for PCI with or without coronary angiography. It emphasizes the importance of knowing the date of the patient's most recent myocardial infarction before their arrival at the facility. If the exact date is unknown, using 0101 as the month and day with the known year is advised. Estimating the year based on the medical record is acceptable. For instance, if the patient's last myocardial infarction was mentioned in a document from 2011, that year can be used for accurate coding (01-01-2011).
