== Coding Instruction==

{{DX tag | Other Medical | Medical Problem | Palliative Service | | 90400 | | |'''Critical Care and/or Medicine''' | Currently Collected | |}}

Palliative ~~Care~~ Service should only used as follows:

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 ~~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 physician~~, you ~~'''cannot~~ code~~''' Palliative Care anymore, unless the service is consulted. This is confirmed by both ICU and Medicine database program.~~[[~~User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk~~]] ~~13:20, 2013 November 7 (CST)~~

== Related data ==

== ~~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.

~~It has been clarified that Palliative Care Service does not mean the same thing as palliation, comfort care or ACP C. It is the actual Palliative Service involvement in care.~~
