Data Element
Version 2016B1

Data Element Name:

First Pass Date

Collected For:

CSTK-07,

Definition:

The date associated with the time of the first pass (i.e., mechanical deployment) of a clot retrieval device at this hospital.

Suggested Data Collection Question:

What is the date associated with the time of the first pass of a clot retrieval device at this hospital?

Format:

Length:	10-MM-DD-YYYY (includes dashes) or UTD
Type:	Date
Occurs:	1

Allowable Values:

MM = Month (01-12)
DD = Day (01-31)
YYYY = Year (2012-Current Year)
UTD = Unable to Determine

Notes for Abstraction:

If the date of the first pass is unable to be determined from medical record documentation, select UTD.
The medical record must be abstracted as documented (taken at face value). When the date documented is obviously in error (not a valid date/format) and no other documentation is found that provides this information, the abstractor should select UTD
Examples:
- Documentation indicates the first pass date was 03-42-20xx. No other documentation in the medical record provides a valid date. Since the first pass date is outside of the range listed in the Allowable Values for Day, it is not a valid date and the abstractor should select UTD.
  - Patient expires on 02-12-20xx and documentation indicates the First Pass Date was 03-12-20xx. Other documentation in the medical record supports the date of death as being accurate. Since the First Pass Date is after the Discharge Date (death), it is outside of the parameters of care and the abstractor should select “UTD.”

Note: Transmission of a case with an invalid date as described above will be rejected from the Joint Commissions Data Warehouse. Use of UTD for First Pass Date allows the case to be accepted into the warehouse.
