Palliative Service code should only be used as follows:

*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''

*COMPLICATION slots:   
**only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Care Services AFTER ward admission.
**only if there is an actual '''consultation''' for Palliative Services '''''after''''' ward admission ''even if the patient was not accepted to that service''
***Reminder:  (change in collection process): if patient becomes [[Comfort Care | ACP C, or Comfort Care]] AFTER ward admission by the attending DOC, you '''cannot code''' Palliative Care service anymore, unless the service is consulted.

== When NOT to code ==
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.  
We have now clarified further that Palliative Care Service does not mean the same thing as palliation, comfort care or ACP C. It is the actual Service involvement in care.

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.
