Chest Pain-MI v3.2 Education-Patient Evaluation Non-Invasive Testing During this Episode

Patient Evaluation Non-Invasive Testing During this Episode

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript explains how to code shared decision-making and ischemia/cardiac CTA evaluation fields for chest pain patients. Shared decision-making is documented when the provider discusses risks, benefits, costs, radiation, and alternatives with the patient, and the patient’s values are considered. A note, SMART phrase, or decision-making tool is enough to code “yes.” It also defines how to record the first ischemia test and cardiac CTA ordered, performed, and their dates/times. Finally, it explains how to classify test results as negative, positive, indeterminate, or CAD severity levels based on imaging and stenosis findings.
