Case Cart Diagnostics

The Case Cart Diagnostic file primarily stores all valid diagnostic codes. Before anyone can use the codes on preference templates or cases, the codes must be in this file. Before you set up this file, you must decide what diagnostic types you want to define. The diagnostic type is the first of two fields used to uniquely identify a diagnosis. The diagnostic type is used to identify different coding systems such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system. Use CX03.1 (Diagnostics) to add, delete, or change records in this file. The Case Carts system uses diagnostic codes to assign and validate diagnostic codes on preference templates and cases. In addition, form CX235 (Procedure Cost Vs DRG) uses the codes for reimbursement calculations. The Case Carts system uses the diagnostic code descriptions in all reporting and all applicable forms.

FIELD NAME DESCRIPTION/VALID VALUES UPDATED BY
CDI-DIAG-TYPE
Element: Diag Type
Alpha 8
The diagnostic type is the first of two fields used to uniquely identify a diagnosis. The diagnostic type is used to identify different coding systems such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-DIAG-CODE
Element: Diag Code
Alpha 6
The diagnostic code is the second of two fields that uniquely identify a diagnosis. The diagnostic code is an identifier for a specific diagnosis within a diagnostic type. Diagnostic codes can come from many sources such as HCPCS (HCFA's (Health Care Financing Administration's) Common Procedure Coding System), CPT-4 (Current Procedural Terminology, 1994), ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision), and a code for your organization's own coding system.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-DIAG-DESC
Element: Diag Desc
Alpha 250 (Lower Case)
This field contains the description of the diagnosis.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-RELATIVE-WGHTS
Element: Relative Wghts
Signed 8.4
This field contains the relative weight. Relative weight is a multiplier used to calculate the reimbursement for treating a diagnosis. The higher the relative weight, the greater the payment to the hospital.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-GEOMETRIC-LOS
Element: Arithmetic Los
Signed 5.2
This field contains the geometric mean length of stay (GMLOS), when applicable. The GMLOS is a measure for the central tendency of nationally reported lengths of stay for a specific diagnostic-related group. A company compares its length of stay results with this value for monitoring purposes.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-ARITHMETIC-LOS
Element: Arithmetic Los
Signed 5.2
This value is the arithmetic mean length of stay (AMLOS). AMLOS is the average number of days patients assigned a given diagnostic code stay in the hospital (also referred to as the average length of stay). Practitioners can try to get the lowest patient length of stay (LOS), using the AMLOS as a guide.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-OUTLIER
Element: Outlier
Numeric 2
This value is the length of stay that triggers a reimbursement exception. The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) or another insurer provides this value.
CX03.1 CX503
CDI-STATUS
Element: Status
Numeric 1
This value is the transaction status.
0 = Active
1 = Inactive
CX503
CDI-DIAG-DESC50
Element: Diag Desc50
Derived
This field contains the Diagnostic description.
