+**Use it as an diagnosis in the situation where the donor comes in electively to a ward, then goes to OR and has organ harvested, and THEN comes back to the same location (in which case it'll now be an acquired dx) or a different location (in which case it'll be an admit dx).

 *We only want to code this for major organ donations, i.e. not cornea, skin or bones.

-* If I understand [[Guideline for coding organ donation after death]] right we will not actually be coding [[Organ donor (organ/tissue donation by the donor)]] ''for deceased patients'' , since that will always happen elsewhere, and pt won't come back to us after, so not our dx. If I understand that right we should probably put a one-liner here to make that clear since it's a bit counter-intuitive. And likely at that page as well.
-* What [[Dx Date]] in the [[Acquired Diagnosis]] do you put for this code? Do you use the date that they '''decide''' the pt will be an organ donor?  Or would you prefer the date the patient goes to the OR (which would be the same as the discharge date)?
-** These patients go to a different ward after transplant, right? So we would likely not currently track the CCI for this. Maybe transplants are something we should track if they are at the end of stay. I'll flag this for Allan.
-***I am referring to an organ donor (not a transplant recipient). Most donors go to the morgue after donating their organs in the OR.  I am not asking about CCI, just the date for the acquire ICD10 code.  I am not sure who wrote the above comment.}}
