Frequently Asked Questions/Tip Sheets

What do you recommend I do after file import?

  1. Run Invalid Import Results located at Admin->Facility Admin->Invalid Import Results
    1. Correct errors and re-import
  2. Run Clinical File Rejections located at Admin->Facility Admin->Clinical Files Rejections
    1. Correct errors and re-import
  3. Run Base Data Import Changes to identify data elements from base file imports that changed on unlocked cases.
  4. Cases No Longer in Population identifies cases that no longer qualify for the Initial Patient Population of a measure set due to changes in the case from an import. Cases that are “Excluded by Sampling” are simply cases that were not selected for the sample.
    1. Run Cases No Longer in Population located at Reporting->Population->Cases No Longer in Population
    2. Remove cases that have coded out of a population (these are NOT auto deleted)
  5. For unlocked Inpatient Cases - Birth Weight changes will revert a PC-Newborn UNC case to In Progress if it was Completed. For unlocked Outpatient Cases - Arrival Time, Encounter Date or Discharge Code changes will revert a case to In Progress if it was Completed. Complete these prior to Saving All Cases if you want to review them, since a Save All will complete the cases (if all required data elements to complete the case(s) are populated).
  6. The Facility Admin can run Save All Cases for each Measure Set OR Save All Cases Updated After Last Save. This will update Measure Category Assignments on Reports. If you are reviewing each case for accuracy after imports, you should NOT run Save All.  The cases can be saved at the worksheet level for a case-by-case review. 
  7. Run Cases by Category Assignment. Measure Category Assignment X are cases that have Critical edits after import. Review these cases and make corrections as needed.
