Which type of notification is not accepted for inpatient admission in the TRC measure?

The type of notification that is not accepted for inpatient admission in the TRC measure is documentation provided only by a family member. This is because HEDIS measures, including TRC (Transitional Care), emphasize the importance of verified and direct communication from relevant healthcare providers or systems to ensure accuracy in patient care transitions. Relying solely on information from family members may introduce bias or inaccuracies, as family members may not have all pertinent medical details or may not be privy to what's needed for a proper admission notification.

Conversely, notifications from a hospital discharge summary, direct communication from the patient, and documentation outlining a clear timeframe are designed to verify patient admissions effectively, ensuring that the healthcare provider has reliable information to coordinate care transition appropriately. These methods are aligned with the goals of HEDIS measures that focus on maintaining quality care and accurate health information exchanges.
