Clinical Focus: This set of values contains codes and concepts for graduated compression stocking devices which are used to prevent VTEs in patients.
Data Element Scope: The intent of this data element is to identify patients who have a graduated compression stocking device applied. It may also be used to identify patients who did not have a graduated compression stocking device applied for VTE prophylaxis for an allowable reason when used with a negation rationale attribute. Using the Quality Data Model, this data element maps to the Device category.
Inclusion Criteria: Only include codes which represent graduated compression stockings.
Exclusion Criteria: None
Subject constrained to the Graduated compression stockings (GCS)
DeviceApplied: Data elements that meet criteria using this datatype should document that the device indicated by the QDM category and its corresponding value set is in use, or impacts or alters the treatment, care plan, or encounter (e.g., an antithrombotic device has been placed on the patient's legs to prevent thromboembolism, or a cardiac pacemaker is in place). Timing: The Relevant Period addresses: startTime – When the device is inserted or first used stopTime – when the device is removed or last used
