 The auditor’s prefixes are highlighted in purple because there is no corresponding prefix in the original code set.  Condition Onset Flags (COF) have been added by the auditor so are flagged in orange because they are different to the original (in this case the original COF was blank in each case).

On scrolling down the screen, you see the following:

The above shows a screen shot of the data fields comparison including DRG and the comparison of procedures.

In this case the auditor has entered an additional procedure code (95550-03) so it is highlighted in blue (i.e. audit code not in hospital code set). The date is highlighted in purple because there is no corresponding date in the original hospital dataset.

Beside each coding error there is a box labelled ENTER LOG. Where codes highlighted in yellow and blue appear in the same line there are two ENTER LOG boxes.

Under the audit DRG there will be an ENTER LOG box if the hospital and audit DRGs are different but in the case in the screen shot above, the DRG has not changed even though the principal diagnosis was different. There are two columns (indicated by the red box in the screen shot above), one for TOTAL CODING LOGS (7 in this case) and one for TOTAL CODING ERRORS (0 in this screen shot). As you complete the Error Logs the figures for TOTAL CODING ERRORS, TYPE OF ERROR and REASON FOR ERROR will change, as described in 4.7 following.

NOTE: All error logs must be completed before the episode can be marked as complete.
