1. When the CDAC Validation Sample Record Request List is available on QualityNet:

þ   Check with Medical Records/HIM to verify receipt of the Validation request from the CDAC (Clinical Data Abstraction Center). CSC – Parent Company of DynKePRO has assumed the CDAC role.

þ    Validation Records must be received by the CDAC within 30 CALENDAR days from the date on the request

þ   Validation Records may be posted on QualityNet prior to receipt of the CDAC request.   (The processes for copying these records may be instituted when the list is posted to QualityNet, however do not send the records to the CDAC until the CDAC Medical Record Request is received!

þ    CDAC instructs that you refrain from flagging, highlighting or identifying abstraction information in any way in the medical record prior to sending the record to the CDAC for validation. The CDAC will disregard these types of actions during the adjudication process; the CDAC abstractor will review the medical record as if they were the original abstractor.

þ    Prior to mailing: review the 5 records for completeness, legibility of the copy including date and time of EKG’s, labs, nursing notes, patient education booklets. Make sure you submit everything needed for this record to substantiate care!! Once the record is received at the CDAC, additional portions of that specific medical record will not be accepted and also cannot be submitted as part of the appeal process.  CDAC reviews the submitted record.  NO MISSING PAGES OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ARE ACCEPTED BY THE CDAC AFTER RECORD SUBMISSION HAS OCCURRED.

þ    After mailing, verify CDAC receipt of the five records via “Case Selection Report” Y or N.
