Chest Pain-MI v3.2 Education-Patient Evaluation Risk Stratification

Patient Evaluation Risk Stratification

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This transcript explains how to code chest-pain risk stratification fields for NSTEMI, unstable angina, or low-risk chest pain. Capture the first documented risk level between arrival and discharge, prioritizing clinician labels of low/intermediate/high over numeric scores. If a range is documented, code the highest value. If no clinician category exists, use numeric thresholds for TIMI, GRACE, HEART, modified HEART, or EDACS. Also code whether risk stratification was not documented, performed at a transferring facility, and which tool was used (TIMI, GRACE, HEART, EDACS, or NOT rules).
