* given to a person with progressive, advanced underlying chronic disease with little or no prospect of cure

* whose death is apparent however is not immediately imminent

* for whom the primary goal is to maintain quality of life.

~~Treatment is directed towards relieving suffering by managing underlying disease related symptoms.~~

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.
