Beyond the Software: Abstraction Best Practices for Trauma Registry Professionals (LIVE)
Beyond the Software: Abstraction Best Practices for Trauma Registry Professionals (Live)

Description:

Register for this webinar to learn about how to make data as strong as the abstraction behind it. When abstractors interpret data elements differently, small inconsistencies can add up to unreliable counts, skewed trends and comparisons you can’t trust. Learn more about the importance of data dictionary and its hierarchy as the source of truth. The presenter will share how data element definitions, source document hierarchies and timing rules work together to guide each coding decision, and why applying them the same way every time is key to data quality. You’ll leave with a repeatable method that strengthens consistency across your team and makes your registry reports more reliable.

Attendees will be able to: 

  • Describe the abstraction approach that begins with the data dictionary and its hierarchy as the source of truth.
  • Explain how consistent application of abstraction standards affects data quality and the reliability of registry reports.
  • Apply data element definitions, source hierarchies, and timing rules to fictional patient scenarios.
