'''Palliative care''' is
* 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 patient’s whose death is immediately imminent should be '''not''' coded as Palliative care.

A patient will have a "diagnosis" of palliative care 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 unrelated to a patient having ACP C or Comfort Care orders, but you might be able to code Comfort Care in that circumstance.
