RECONCILE AUTOPSY DATA DISCREPANCY
Upon investigation, it has been determined that in-patient autopsy numbers for
patients whose treating specialty had changed since they were originally logged
in, were being totaled in the wrong treating specialty, or omitted from the
report all together. This resulted in subtotals not reconciling back to the
grand total. The solution is to create an 'Exceptions List' at the bottom of
the report. This list displays the autopsy accession number, it's current
treating specialty from the FACILITY TREATING SPECIALTY field (#.09) of the
PATIENT MOVEMENT file (#405), and its original treating specialty from the
TREATING SPECIALTY AT DEATH field (#14.6) of the LAB DATA file (#63). It also
displays the total number of exceptions listed. The subtotals by treating
specialty plus the total number of exceptions now reconciles back to the grand
total number of autopsies performed. This also gives the site the necessary
information to update the LAB DATA file (#63) with the current treating
specialty number.
This patch corrects a problem with option [LRAPQOR] QA Outcome Review Cases.
This report's function is to break out by treating specialty, the number of
autopsies performed over a given period of time. On the last page of the
report, it lists the total number of autopsies performed in the given date
range. Under this total, the number of autopsies, subtotaled by treating
specialty, are listed. These subtotals are not reconciling back to the grand
total number of autopsies.
