*ADMIT slots:  
**only if the patient has been previously enrolled in and is currently being cared for by the Palliative Care Service.
**only if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted, ''even if the patient was not accepted to that service''

The diagnosis code Palliative Service is related to, '''but not the same as''' a patient having [[ACP-C]] or [[Comfort Care]] orders, but you might be able to code [[Comfort Care]] in that circumstance.  


Important note: (change in collection process): if patient becomes ACP C, or comfort AFTER ward admission by the attending DOC, you cannot code Palliative Care service anymore, unless the service is consulted.  See [[Comfort Care]] for more information.

A palliative patient will have a "diagnosis" of Palliative Service if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted. We code Palliative Service as a diagnosis because we did not have a reasonable alternative way to code it when we started to collect it.

See Comfort Care for collection instructions on that care goal.

Coding Instruction for Palliative Care Service

Palliative Service code should only be used as follows:

  • ADMIT slots:
    • only if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted, even if the patient was not accepted to that service
  • COMPLICATION slots:
    • only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Services after ward admission even if the patient was not accepted to that service

Related data

The diagnosis code Palliative Service is related to, but not the same as a patient having ACP-C or Comfort Care orders, but you might be able to code Comfort Care in that circumstance.
