EPDIR-1022 - Appropriate Use Criteria Metrics-1022 - Appropriate Use Criteria Metrics

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses appropriate use criteria metrics in the EP Device Implant Registry. It explains that not all scenarios are addressed in the AUC metrics, but the most common ones are mapped and classified. Metric 117 evaluates the proportion of initial secondary prevention ICD CRTD procedures that are not classifiable for AUC. The denominator exclusions include patients enrolled in a pre-market clinical trial and those younger than 18. The numerator includes initial ICD implant devices coded as subcutaneous ICD and single- or dual-chamber ICD that have been classified as appropriate, maybe appropriate, or rarely appropriate. The video presents a case scenario of a 49-year-old patient and asks which metric she would be included in. The answer is metric 117. The video also provides instructions on finding the relevant AUC document and identifying the correct section and tables for different patient comorbidities.
