      Concurrent Abstraction Rate Measure Results

      Concurrent Abstraction allows you to begin abstracting Current Inpatient cases and Patients Discharged and Not Final Coded cases that can potentially fall into a measure set. A potential case can be concurrently abstracted, even while the patient is still in the hospital.

      Keep in mind: Concurrent Abstraction follows the algorithm from the Specifications Manual, just like a regular abstraction does.  A Principal Diagnosis Code will need to be manually entered prior to concurrent abstraction, since the worksheet cannot be saved without one. Some cases may need a Procedure Code entered if the algorithm requires one to assess the case.

      Workflow:

      1. Identify Potential Case or Add Potential Cases        
      2. Concurrent Abstraction List      
      3. Concurrent Abstraction Results
