Do any of you perform quality checks on drug administration?
We perform routine quality checks on our coders. We code drug administration for facility outpatients but there is a debate over how the drug admin should be counted. At 1 time we counted every drug admin we coded, however if a coder forgot to charge the drug admin the missed drugs could effect the coder’s quality percentage for the entire month. We changed to just counting each different drug admin CPT code. For example if there were 2 sequential pushes that would only count as 1 coded correctly or missed. I’d appreciate any input you could offer.
