Clinical Validity

We are curious how other systems deal with capturing conditions that are documented but not valid based on the documentation within the record?

  1. Query for clinical validity on all conditions that are documented but not clinically valid
  2. If not valid, it is not captured even if documented
  3. Reported solely based on documentation without a query

Thank you in advance for your input!

    At ACDIS we encourage the use of clinical validation queries.

    We are in the process of writing a clinical validation policy. Does anyone have a policy that they would be willing to share with us?
