Validating for eCQM submission to satisfy IQR requirements
We have a patient that was documented as discharged against medical advice in the medical record, but our coders ultimately coded "left before treatment complete" as the discharge disposition. In VSAC, I can see the grouper for "left against medical advice" has siblings listed and one of those is "left before treatment complete". This seems to have the same result, the patient left before proper discharge could be done. Should other discharge dispositions be mapped for "left against medical advice" or only "left against medical advice".
