What is a baseline file, and when does it need to be submitted?
A baseline file is used to identify all existing patient cases prior to the hospital’s start of data submission (for Clinic Visits). Once the visit activity submission commences, each visit is cross referenced back to the baseline file to determine if the patient is a new case (as of the visit date). If the patient does not match a record on the baseline file, it is counted as a new case visit and subsequently added onto the file to identify further follow up visits. A record match will count as a follow up visit. New case and follow up visits are grouped by the Visit Program Code.
