Lessons Learned from the Field z Coders and clinical staff DO NOT have
a shared understanding of PC-01 expectations: – Providers DO NOT have a clear
understanding of documentation requirements: using ACOG terminology but abstractors adhering to manual specifications= differing interpretations
© C
opyr

Joi
nt C
omm

Lessons Learned from the Field (Cont.) z Some hospitals still do not have a
“hard-stop” policy z Team division:
– Nursing taking the lead in accountability “enforcing” PC-01 resulting in “disharmony” with providers
– Further divide between quality/coding teams and nursing/provider teams
© C

How can we improve performance for PC-01? z Adopt a hospital wide policy
establishing criteria for performing early term medical inductions and cesarean sections
z Require review of requests not meeting criteria
z Clear, concise documentation by all clinicians
z Coder & clinical education as needed

Rationale
z Skyrocketing increase in rates z Most variable portion of a primary CB
rate z Performance improvement opportunity
© C
opyr

, The
Joi
nt C

Why are there no exclusions to the measure such as maternal cardiac conditions, fetal distress, etc.?
z Variation of a primary CB rate which does not allow for exclusions
z Designed to measure complications that largely arise in labor and not exclude them
z Some medical practices during labor lead to the development of indications that were potentially avoidable

Answer: z Maternal conditions are not the norm z These conditions comprise ~2% of all
exclusions z Maternal conditions cannot be modeled
