FROM:

Record the name of every ambulatory (outpatient) surgery
patient seen during the Reporting Period on one or more Sign-In
Sheets maintained by the inscope ambulatory surgery locations.
Record each patient in the order registered by your receptionist
or seen by the provider. It is important to record every patient
visit including those not seen by the provider but attended to by
the staff. Patients who visit more than once during the Reporting
Period should be recorded on the Sign-In Sheet at each visit.

PATIENT
RECORD

Follow the Sampling Pattern below to determine for which visit(s) a
Patient Record should be completed.

Start with the

START WITH:

Patient. Take every

TAKE EVERY:

The START WITH designates the FIRST PATIENT for whom a
Patient Record should be completed. The TAKE EVERY
designates every patient thereafter for whom a Patient Record
should be completed. For example, for a Start With of 2 and Take
Every of 3, a Patient Record will be completed for the second
patient listed on the ambulatory surgery center Sign-In Sheet and
every third patient listed thereafter (e.g., 2, 5, 8, etc.). It is essential
that the Take Every Number is extended each day from one Sign-In
Sheet to another. For example, if your ambulatory surgery center
uses a new Sign-In Sheet each day, then the Take Every Number
has to be extended from the last patient visit selected on Monday to
the new list on Tuesday. If a single Sign-In Sheet is used during the
entire Reporting Period, then the Take Every Number needs to be
extended as new patient names are added to the list.
