Video Summary

The video is a hot topic session focused on the appropriate use criteria (AUC) for coronary revascularization with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The session is moderated by Connie Anderson, the product manager for the Cath PCI Registry and the Chest Pain MI Registry. She is joined by two members of the Cath PCI Registry team, John Gerrout and Kim Lavin. The session discusses the purpose of the AUC, identifies data elements critical to AUC mapping, demonstrates dashboard functionality, and highlights the value of the AUC in guiding patient selection and minimizing risk. Key takeaways from the session include the importance of thorough documentation and accurate abstraction, the need to review and analyze aggregated metric data to assess overall patterns of care, and the focus on population-level analysis rather than individual patient scenarios. Participants are encouraged to utilize available resources such as the dashboard user guide, the AUC companion guide, and the AUC methodology publication. They should also engage with providers to educate them on common trends and the importance of complete and accurate documentation to ensure procedures receive the correct AUC classification.
