Video Summary

The video discusses how to project and prepare for the abstraction burden of follow-ups in the LAAO registry. The speaker, Christy Verschelden, works in a quality and registry department that serves three hospital campuses in Texas. They analyze their registry volume trends twice a year and noticed that their LAAO registry volume had doubled from 159 cases in 2020 to 320 cases in 2021. They expect their follow-up volumes over the next two years to potentially double as well. The goals of the project were to identify the current weekly abstraction burden, estimate future follow-up volumes, calculate the annual abstraction hours required, and determine the budgetary needs for outsourcing abstraction to a vendor. They created a workbook with calculations and data analysis to help replicate the project. They also adjusted workload assignments and proposed hiring additional staff based on the projected growth in volumes. The speaker emphasizes the importance of analyzing volume trends and being prepared for the abstraction burden it creates.
