Can you clarify how the data element, Intervention Offered should be answered? It’s a little unclear in the manual at the bottom of page 114. It only states: Yes, No or Unknown? And the data element in collector has an “Inappropriate” option. Example: SBIRT and Screen Result were negative. Should Intervention offered be “Inappropriate” or “NO”?
Thanks for the question, that was changed after initial release.
If the patient was screened, then you will answer this question whether screening was positive or negative.
Answer Yes, No, or Unknown, based on whether the patient was offered an intervention. For negative screens, it may be your practice that patients are not offered intervention so No may be your standard answer. It was changed to allow cases in which the screening may have been negative, but providers offer an intervention, perhaps based on other information.
The N/A (or inappropriate) option may be available because of how the software works, but if it isn’t listed on the dictionary menu, then it should not be used. Do not enter N/A (inappropriate) in this element.
