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.

If [[ACP C]] or [[Comfort Care]] is ordered '''after''' a patient is admitted to the unit/ward, you '''cannot code''' Palliative Service in complications. You can only code it if the Palliative Care Service Team is consulted.
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.  
 
*I thought Comfort Care was not to be entered as a Complication/Acquired, but only was to be used as a TMP entry?  Will there be a "Comfort Care" code for complications as well?
*Correct.  Only in TMP and not in complications.  Go to [[Comfort Care]].User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 16:48, 2013 November 13 (CST)
