The UHDDS, UACDS, and MDS are all health data sets that aim to improve healthcare quality through standardized data collection. The UHDDS focuses on inpatient hospital data, the UACDS on outpatient care, and the MDS on long-term care facilities.
Item 12 of UHDDS states that all docHub procedures are to be reported and defines a docHub procedure as one that is: 1. surgical in nature, or 2. carries a procedural risk, or 3. carries an anesthetic risk, or 4.
The procedure that is performed for definitive treatment or is taking care of a complication is the principal procedure. Procedures for diagnostic or exploratory purposes that are performed in addition to a procedure being performed for definitive treatment, would be reported in addition to the principal procedure.
