Comfort care, ACP C, palliation
This article is about collecting the "Comfort care" ([[ACP C]], [[Palliative care]]) temp entry. Collection has stopped, see [[Palliative care]] for a related thing we collect.


===Data Use and Purpose===
== Data Use and Purpose ==
The purpose of adding this to TMP is allow the '''medicine program''' to identify those patients whom the ''initial intent of care AT the start of a ward admission'' is: comfort care, ACP C, palliation.
=== Which patients qualify ===
The purpose is to specifically identify and tag '''only''' those ICU and Medicine patients for whom the '''initial goal''' of care right from the start of a unit admission is comfort care, [[ACP C]], palliation.


NOTE: Palliation does not mean consult to palliative care service, but can include it. See [[Palliative Care Service]]
Pts for whom comfort care is ordered '''after admission do ''not'' qualify.'''


=== Collection Instructions ===
Pt '''does not require''' but could be receiving [[Palliative Service]]'''.
#A ward admitting physician/resident's order/note is required to be present on chart stating: comfort care, ACP C, palliation 
#*Project Name: Admit Intent
#*Item: Comfort Care
#Admit DX would use the same process as we always do.  Most significant Medical problem in admit 1, 2, 3 etc.


Note: Comfort care, ACP C, palliation all mean that the ''INTENT of care at the time of ward admission'' is comfort care. This does not preclude having some medical treatments like treating an pneumonia or infection.  
Pt ''could'' be receiving some medical treatments like treating an pneumonia or infection, pain, dehydration and anything else that would ease suffering.  


Select Comfort Care only if '''any''' of the following are true: 
*(a) the patient had an ACP-C ''prior to'' admission to that unit/ward
*(b) the patient had an ACP-C order implemented as ''part of'' the admission orders to that unit/ward
*(c) the ''initial admission note'' of the unit/ward attending physician and/or the H&P written by the house officer identifies that the patient was admitted for any of: 
**(i) comfort care,
**(ii) palliation
**(iii) palliative care
**(iv) or end-of-life care 
***Note that none of items (ii)-(iv) require that the patient was ACP-C or that the Palliative Care Service be involved in care.


Shirley Kiesmans question: pt comes to CTU/S4 with a Dr.'s note/order stated intent of care is for comfort care/ACP C. Pt has Dx of CVA, CAP, cancer. 
=== Coding Instructions ===
*Admit DX would be:  1. CVA 2. CAP, 3 CA  which ever one is the primary problem first.  Could be CAP because had CVA last week.
If the patient meets the above criteria then code as:  
*TMP
