FCDS 2021 Consolidated Follow Back Records Available for Review (Archived)
FCDS completed the matching of the 2021 In-Patient and Out-Patient Discharges reported by Florida reporting hospitals’ and ambulatory surgery centers’ Finance-Billing/Medical Records Department to the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). All records with principal or secondary diagnosis of cancer were linked to the FCDS database. A match was also completed of the Florida Vital Statistics Death Certificates for 2021.
All non-matching records have been placed in IDEA for review. Each case on the queue must be reviewed online. If the case is found to not be reportable, assign the appropriate disposition code; if the record was previously reported to FCDS assign disposition code 07, accession number, and sequence number, then press the Submit button. In addition, any case found to meet the FCDS Cancer Case Reporting Requirements outlined in Section I of the FCDS DAM and found to not have been previously reported must be reported to FCDS using IDEA. These are considered missed cases. Assign a disposition code of 01, accession number, and sequence number to the reportable cases and press the Submit button.
These disposition code 01 records (missed cases) must be electronically reported to FCDS within 30 days of assigning the disposition code, otherwise, after the 30 days, the record(s) will be placed back in the queue and marked as incomplete.
The deadline to complete the review and submission of any missed cases is September 1, 2023.
Please keep in mind that all audits conducted by FCDS are dictated and closely monitored by the Florida Department of Health. Facilities failing to meet the reporting requirements will be reported to DOH for noncompliance. Should you have any questions, please contact your Field Coordinator at (305) 243-4600.
