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.

==Purpose and Use==
Currently using project [[Comfort Care]] in the [[Alert Scale]] & [[Overstay]] Project.  This code now only tells us if patient was under Palliative Service.

== Related data ==
*A patient under the care of [[Palliative Service]] should always be coded in tmp as receiving [[Comfort Care]].
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.  
*A patient can have [[Comfort Care]] and/or be [[ACP C]] but may or may not be under the care of [[Palliative Service]].
