Direct Care Prof Encounters Various Facilities 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 5
Direct Care Prof Encounters Historical Compliance Issues • Requirement to complete SADR within 3 business days of encounter. Not always met • Larger issue with getting the SADR at all • Concept of appointment-inferred SADRs and their measures accounts for missing data, as most management questions require • FY 03 and forward incorporates the appointmentinferred concept. Older data use the “Raw” and “Total” concept based on the WWR 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 6
Direct Care Prof Encounters Actual vs Inferred • Completed encounter records compared to appointment records. Missing encounters “inferred” from appointments • Person information based on appointed person • No diagnosis or CPT codes • Workload and cost measures inferred by Tmt DMIS ID, visit class (APV, Telcon, Other), and MEPRS 3 Code • Replaces Raw vs. Total in the FY 03+ detail tables 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 7
Direct Care Prof Encounters Procedure Codes • Coded with CPT codes • Evaluation & Management (E&M) Code - previously mandatory • Up to four additional procedures • Most records have no procedures (i. e. , E&M Code is coded, but Procedure 1 – Procedure 4 is usually not coded) – This is not the case for Ambulatory Procedure Visit (APV) clinics 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 8
Direct Care Prof Encounters Ambulatory Surgery • Ambulatory Procedure Visit (APV)Flag: Indicates care delivered in ambulatory procedure unit (APU) • Same Day Surgery Flag: Surgery done in an APU 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 9
Direct Care Prof Encounters Ambulatory Procedure Groups · Based on CPTs and first diagnosis code · E&M Code + first diagnosis determine E&M and medical APGs, respectively · Each additional CPT results in an APG · Maximum of 6 per record 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 10

Direct Care Prof Encounters APG Weights • Every APG receives a weight • Weight reflects relative consumption of MTF resources (includes provider) • Aggregate APG weight computed as: 100% for the “heaviest” + 50% for others • Reflects economy of scale • Best overall workload measure for your facility, not for a provider 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 16
Direct Care Prof Encounters APC Weights • Every APC receives a weight • APC Aggregate Weight = sum of the 5 weights on a record • FY 05+ only • Used by Medicare for reimbursement 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 17
Direct Care Prof Encounters Relative Value Units (RVUs) • Numeric values quantify relative work and cost of health care services (CPT) • Emphasis on provider contribution • 3 main components in civilian tables: – Work – Practice Expense (Facility or Non-Facility) – Malpractice • Most RVU fields based on “work” component 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 18

(Fields are present, but not populated correctly. ) 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 34
Direct Care Prof Encounters Date Field · Service Date = Date of radiology exam or lab testing. · FY/FM and CY/CM and class based on this date.

Direct Care Prof Encounters Odds and Ends • Diagnosis codes and PPS Market Value fields are empty. • Big holes in FY 05 data, FY 06 generally complete. At this time, there is no indication that missing data can be recovered. • Anatomical Pathology departments using the Co. Path system do not pass their workload into CHCS; thus this workload is missing. • Duplicates are present but are only about 0. 5% of the records. These will be removed in the October 2007 release. • Transfusion medicine at MTFs which have an automated system should be viewed with caution as individual transactions may be recorded, not actual workload. 3/19/2018 TMA / WISDOM Excerpt 37
