== New Rules (as of April 2019) Regarding Brain death and Organ Donation ==
*For a patient who develops [[Brain death]] in location A, and then transfers to location B for further evaluation for organ donation
**In location A the patient will have an acquired diagnosis of [[Brain death]], and their dispo will be '''Death with transfer to another ICU'''.  The [[LOS]] in location A will be time from admit to [[Brain death]].  Any time spent in location A after [[Brain death]] will be counted towards occupancy but not [[LOS]].
**In location B the patient will have admit diagnosis of [[Brain death]], and their dispo will be '''Death with transfer to OR for organ donation''' IF they go for donation and '''Death with transfer to morgue''' if not.  While all of this time will be included in occupancy, none of it will be included in [[LOS]] (since the person was not alive). 
**In the unusual situation where the patient goes directly from location A (an ICU) to the OR of another/different hospital for organ harvesting, the dispo for location A will be '''Death with transfer to OR for organ donation'''
**Regarding death rates in these records
***It’s necessary to avoid double counting the death in location A and location B.
*For a patient who is in one location (e.g. MICU), where he develops [[Brain death]], and then stays in that location to be evaluated/optimized for being an organ donor
**[[Brain death]] will be an acquired diagnosis.  [[LOS]] will only be the time from admit to [[Brain death]].  Time after [[Brain death]] will be counted towards occupancy but not [[LOS]]. 
**The dispo will be '''Death with transfer to OR''' for organ donation IF they go for donation and '''Death with transfer to morgue''' if not.

This page ties together the different types of information we collect about deceased patients. Additional info might be in but not integrated here yet.

General instructions for deceased patients

  • We always know that a patient died by virtue of the Dispo field. And data collectors record all diagnoses relevant to the admission. Thus beyond those 2 items, we have no specific need to record death as a diagnosis EXCEPT for brain death in which the patient becomes an organ donor.
  • There might or might not be one of the Category:Diagnosis implying death
Diagnosis implying death codes:

NOT organ donor

organ donor

See Guideline for coding organ donation after death

Death at temporary location

See Visits to temporary locations

Entries in CSS/Using Cognos2 to keep track of patients

  • deceased
  • "ED Death after Arrival" for EMIPs

Data prior to death (even if pt did not die on our ward)

Decisions about end of life care

End of life care

MAID

Data about patients who did die

Not organ donors

Organ donors

Category:Diagnosis implying death

Diagnosis implying death codes:

Data Integrity Checks (automatic list)
