Palliation, palliative care, comfort care, '''does not require [[Palliative Service]]''', but can include it.
Pts for whom comfort care is ordered '''after admission do ''not'' qualify.'''

Admit DX's would use the same process as we always do.  Most significant Medical problem in admit 1, 2, 3 etc.


''INTENT of care is clear right '''from the beginning''' of a ward admission'' that it is for comfort care, ACP C, palliation, end of life care. This does not preclude having some medical treatments like treating an pneumonia or infection, pain, dehydration and anything else that would ease suffering.

====Example====
== Data use / Reporting and Analysis ==
Patient comes to CTU/S4 with a Dr.'s note/order stated intent of care is for comfort care/ACP C. Pt has Dx of CVA, CAP, cancer. 
The data is used to exclude patients in the analysis of the [[ALERT Scale]] in the [[Directors Quarterly and Annual Report (Medicine)]].
*Admit DX would be:  1. CVA 2. CAP, 3 CA  which ever one is the primary problem first.  Could be CAP because had CVA last week.
