| Notes for Abstraction: | In order to select “Pneumococcal vaccine was given during this hospitalization,” there must be documentation either on the MAR, nursing notes, standing orders, etc. where the vaccine was dated and signed as administered.
- In situations where there is documentation that would support more than one of the allowable values, 1-4, select the smallest number.
Example: * Nurses notes have documentation the patient refused. Vaccination order sheet has documentation that the patient was vaccinated during this hospitalization. You will select value 1, as it is the smallest number.
- If there is no documentation to support any of the allowable values 1-4, and there is physician documentation that they will administer the vaccine after discharge, select “5.”
- Autologous stem cell transplant and ASCT are other names for a bone marrow transplant
