Step 1: What do you need to report?

Identify RSR data elements and use HAB definitions from these sources• Required Data Elements for the Client Report and Instruction Manual for RDR •Remember that you have been collecting and reporting most of the required RSR data in RDR

– Data for the Grantee Report – the same– Data for the Provider Report – nearly identical

6

Step 1: What do you need to report?

Once you identify data elements and review the HAB definitions, you can simplify data collection if you • Use the data sources and documents we are going to suggest for ease of collection• Focus on collecting data and remember that XML can reformat the data for the RSR submission

Data Inventory Training is coming…

Step 2: Where can you find it?Client Level Report Data/Clinical Information

• Data Sources for RSR Questions 46 to 66 electronic health record, medical record, third party billing systems or lab reports

• Enrollment, case management or medical record progress notes

• Clinical information for each RW HIV-positive or indeterminate client, regardless of who paid

• In the slides that follow, we will present examples of data needed and places to find the information

Recap:Clinical Information Easier

• Where can you get the data you need?• The Chart• There are data sources for much of the

clinical information you need for the RSR – Look to your billing system…it’s usually

electronic, and this may decrease cost and improve data collection.

– Some examples follow

• Standard Code Sets for Health Care Data– CPT: Common Procedure Terminology (AMA)– ADA: American Dental Association procedures– HCPCS: Healthcare Common Procedure

13

Clinical Information- PCP Prophylaxis

• Q 51. PCP Prophylaxis– Look first for patients with the ICD code of 042

who had visits during the reporting period– Then look for a viral load count < 200 – Then look in your billing system for prophylactic

– Also take the dates for the screening tests

15
