The following are the guidelines for coding Angiograms (as discussed with Trish):
*When a patient goes for an angiogram and is then admitted to ICU the Angiogram is part of the ICU Admit Diagnosis.
*When a patient admitted in an ICU goes for an angiogram and returns to the same ICU the Angiogram is an ICU Acquired Complication.
*When either of the above patients are transferred to the Medical ward '''DO NOT''' code the angiogram as part of the Medicine Admit Diagnosis. The data between continuous ICU and Medicine admissions can be linked; so there is no need to code the angiogram twice.
*When a patient admitted in an ICU goes for an angiogram and does not return to ICU; but, goes directly to a Medicine ward post-angio the Angiogram is a part of the Medicine Admit Diagnosis.[[User:Mlaporte|Mlaporte]] 18:24, 18 January 2011 (CST)
* Update from 2011-ICU sending pt to medicine via angio department requires the ICU collector to enter the angiogram as a comp-the medicine collector enters only the PTCA or stent if done when admitted to their ward.Same applies when a medicine unit sends a patient to cath-lab-they code the angiogram as a comp-when procedure requires a PTCA or stent(usually returns to B3)then B3 collector captures these codes only.--[[User:Llemoine|Llemoine]] 14:10, 2017 April 4 (CDT)
**Further to my recent post:-in discussion with Con and our Dispo choice to Discharge to Dialysis/Interventional Radiology etc. now being an option-it will be receiving unit/s wards that will capture all the interventions done IE: angio/PTCA/Stents etc. sorry for any confusion.--[[User:Llemoine|Llemoine]] 12:53, 2017 April 10 (CDT)
==Discussion - when to code as post-op ==
{{Discuss@task
| The information about when to code seems to be relevant to all procedures, not just an angiogram. Is it not a special case of [[When to code a patient as post-op]], ie should we integrate this content into that article and link there?
