Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) Validation on an Advanced Imaging Order

If an advanced imaging order meets the appropriate use criteria (AUC), the My Custom Plan template saves the following information: the name of the qualified Clinical Decision Support Mechanism (CDSM) vendor, the ordering provider's National Provider Identification (NPI), the AUC score and the time the AUC was run, the reference number, the order date, and the G code and modifier. The captured information prints on the requisition document. If the advanced imaging order does not meet the AUC (for example, an AUC score of less than three), you can do the following: Accept the score and proceed. If the configuration for AUC certification is set up correctly, you cannot proceed without accepting the AUC score. If you cancel the score wizard, the order is not added to the pending orders grid and must be reordered.

AUC Validation on Advanced Imaging Orders

The AUC score is used to validate the appropriateness of an Advanced Imaging order. You can initiate the American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) score wizard from the Assessment And Plan or Procedure Order cardiology templates by selecting a radiology order or cardiology procedure such as a CT, MRI, PET, Echo, or ECG. The AUC wizard displays the AUC score, which indicates whether the selected order is the most appropriate imaging test for a specific clinical condition or not. You can either accept or cancel the AUC score. If you accept the AUC score, the Assessment And Plan or the Procedure Order template records the AUC score and prints it on the requisition document. After the order is placed, the AUC score label no longer appears on the Assessment And Plan and Procedure Order cardiology templates. The AUC information may be shared as order details when the cardiology procedure or radiology order is processed by a third party. For more information on the AU
