Temple's Tenets

Thank you for participating in the Q&A session last week. As a reminder:

1. measures 1-4 are for hospital admissions (inpatient data); antepartum admits, intrapartum admits, and including post-partum readmits out to 42 days post-partum
2. measures 5-7 are from the cardio-obstetric care coordinators
3. please refer to data dictionary in your packets to understand what is included in the numerator and denominator of various measures
4. the screening form is understood to be nonspecific, five of the questions are pertaining to the patient’s history and three to current/recent symptoms

a. if the patients screen is positive for historical events, then obtain records if available (may have to proceed with de novo work-up if not available)

b. if the patients screen is positive for symptoms the following may be helpful in evaluation of those symptoms (from CMQCC):
