CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#10207 (Discharge Medication Dose)

Video Transcription

If you are abstracting in the Diagnostic Coronary Angiography Only or PCI with or without coronary  angiography pathway and have indicated a statin was prescribed on discharge, the category of the medication dose prescribed on discharge is captured in sequence 10207, Discharge  Medication Dose. The options include low, moderate, or high. The dose definitions came directly from the ACC AHA Guidelines on the Management of Blood  Cholesterol and will be coded based on them, meaning if a torvastatin 40 mg was prescribed on discharge, high would be coded.  The notes in the coding instructions further educate sites that if a statin dose prescribed is outside intensity category, this data element would be left blank.  As an example, if simvastatin 5 mg was prescribed on discharge, this data element would be left blank.  Additionally, if the statin dose prescribed overlaps two categories, sites will code the lower intensity category.

Video Summary

In cases where a statin drug is prescribed upon discharge in relation to Diagnostic Coronary Angiography or PCI, the medication dose category is recorded in sequence 10207 as low, moderate, or high. Dose definitions are derived from ACC AHA Guidelines on Blood Cholesterol Management. For instance, prescribing atorvastatin 40 mg would be coded as high intensity. If the prescribed statin dose does not fit these categories, data should be left blank. In cases where the dose falls between two categories, the lower intensity category should be selected for coding.
