When you have selected an Unaudited or Incomplete episode the following screen will appear.
The imported details for the episode will be displayed on the left-hand side in the EPISODE
DETAILS box. Note that, for an episode marked as Incomplete, any data previously entered or
changed will have been saved and will be displayed.
The steps of the recoding and audit process are then:
1.
Check Episode Details
and amend any item that is incorrect.
2.
Code the Episode
, entering the selected codes in the appropriate boxes.
3.
Calculate the DRG.
4.
Click on the
Coding Comparison
button. The system will then display the original set
of codes and DRG and those entered by the auditor and any differences will be
highlighted.
5.
Complete the
Error Log
for any discrepancy identified including change of DRG.
6.
Click on the
Mark as Complete
button to indicate you do not want to make any
changes.
7.
Add
Comments
about the episode if desired.
NOTE:
You can return to the Coding screen to amend the auditor’s coded data but will have to
recalculate the DRG if you do so. To protect the integrity of the blind recoding audit
methodology, an audit trail is maintained of any changes made to the auditor’s codes after the
initial data entry.
