ResiCAT User Manual

3.1.2 Select criteria for subset When the data import has taken place the screen below will appear.

Note that the program is defaulted to VIEW ALL episodes in the dataset so all the records in the imported dataset will be listed. From this point you have the option to create a subset to work with and/or select a random sample of a defined size from the whole dataset or the subset. You may choose to select episodes to audit by un ticking those you do NOT want. This can be done whether you choose SELECT CRITERIA or not. When you click SAVE only the ticked records will be included in the saved file. If you do not want to select any of the criteria, go directly to the SAVE button. If you wish to choose a subset from the data using certain criteria, tick SELECT CRITERIA. When the screen refreshes a default range of discharge dates will appear, these being from 01/01/1900 to the current date. You can select discharges in a certain date range by entering the dates using the calendar provided beside each date box or by typing over the dates that are there, as indicated by the orange arrows in the screen shot below. NOTE: In the Dataset Setup screen the DRG is visible but once you have created and saved your audit dataset, the DRG will not be displayed in the list. This is to ensure the auditor’s code selection is not influenced by knowing what the original DRG was. The original and audit DRGs will both be displayed in the Coding Comparison screen (see Section 4.6).
