Video Transcription

Video Summary

Sequence 10205, Discharge Medications Prescribed, will now align with other registries and requires specific documentation to support the reasons why a medication was not prescribed. If the medication was not prescribed for discharge due to a medical reason, documentation related to the medical issue or concern should be provided. If the medication was not prescribed due to a patient preference, documentation supporting the patient's refusal or inability to afford the medication should be included. If there is no documentation of a medical or patient reason, the medication will be coded as not prescribed, no reason. It is important to provide specific reasons for not prescribing a medication, and these reasons may apply to a class of medications.
