Description:
This session will help you recognize the elements that affect the AUCs ability to provide a procedure indication. We’ll review how to use your dashboard to recognize gaps in procedure data and discuss improvements that will decrease the number of unclassifiable, less uncertain, and possibly even less rarely appropriate procedure ratings!


Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how to use the patient level detail report to find "missing" data.
• Identify one pre-procedure variable that impacts the AUC’s ability to provide an Indication.
