== Additional Info ==
* Whether we record a procedure (including TISS-related ones) is only a function of WHEN it happened, not WHO did the procedure.  Thus if a patients in ED is taken over by ICU and then is intubated by the ED doc (for whatever reason) then we DO record this in our database record.  This is not different than the fact that if a patient in ICU gets a GI endoscopy done by an Gastroenterologist, we DO record it.
* When a patient is intubated on the ward while still under the care of the ward team (e.g. during a code), we will NOT be coding the intubation procedure. We recognized that it is sufficiently implied by the combination of diagnosis code for Cardiac arrest along with the procedure code CPR, cardiac resuscitation.
