If you need to go back to the previous screen, click on the BACK tab on the bottom left-hand corner of the screen as seen in the screen shot below.

The NEXT button in the bottom right-hand corner will take you to the Coding Comparison screen but you will NOT be able to go to the Coding Comparison screen until codes are entered and the CALCULATE DRG button has been clicked and a DRG generated. This ensures that the results are not compromised and a true blind audit has been conducted. 4.3 C HECK E PISODE D ETAILS

Data fields that a hospital may wish to audit are listed under the EPISODE DETAILS section on the left-hand side of the screen. Some fields may impact on the DRG.
