Understanding the LAAO Registry Follow-Up Process

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Fernando Garcia Barbón discusses the LAAO Registry Follow-up Process. The video explains the requirements for follow-up, including the intervals and date ranges. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) National Coverage Determination requires follow-up and patient outcome tracking. The LAAO Registry has specific intervals, including 45-day, 6-month, 1-year, 2-year, 3-year, and 4-year. Hospitals are responsible for submitting data for the first four intervals, while the registry and CMS gather the data for the 3rd and 4th year. The video also mentions that assessments, labs, and diagnostic studies during follow-up are at the discretion of the provider or facility protocol. Finally, it discusses errors and warnings related to follow-up date ranges. This is Part 1 of a 3-part video series. (Word count: 196)
