Discuss the three ways of viewing data and give an example of each. The three approaches are prospective, concurrent, and retrospective.

What will be an ideal response?

The three approaches are defined below. Examples will vary and should be accepted if they demonstrate the key time frame of the approach.

Prospective approach insists that appropriate protocols and procedures for capturing required data must be established before a patient is even treated.

Concurrent approach allows for the ability to clarify, verify, and edit data while the patient receives treatment.

Retrospective approach allows for review of all data after the fact, allowing for editing where necessary, and the completion of the coding and billing processes.
