1122 - Coding Multiple Procedures Under the Same Episode of Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the STS-ACC TVT Registry presents a case scenario involving a 79-year-old patient with severe aortic stenosis. The patient initially underwent an elective TAVR procedure but experienced complications, leading to the procedure being aborted and the patient being transferred to the ICU. Two days later, a second attempt at the TAVR procedure was successful, and the patient was discharged two days after that. The video addresses the question of whether the second attempt should be considered a new episode of care, to which the answer is no. If multiple procedures occur during the same episode of care on different days, a lab visit should be added under the lab visit tab in version three of the data collection tool. The video also explains that entering two episodes of care for overlapping lab visits will generate errors and alerts, and suggests deleting one episode of care and re-entering all relevant information into the remaining episode of care. No credits were mentioned in the transcript.
