If you have any other questions or concerns please send them to Linda ahead of time so we can ensure questions get addressed.
Questions/Concerns Submitted so far:
- Clarify definition for Hypotension NYD- it says not due to shock or post-op in the code book we don't know when to use this. Why can't we just have hypotension NYD for a code? In other words if patients don't meet the specific criteria for septic shock or hypovolemic shock or cardiogenic shock it would be NYD.
- Clarify definition Septic Shock
- Clarify definition Cardiogenic Shock
- Clarify definition Cardiac Arrests-It's impossible to see how many occur right before admission to Medicine as some patients are admitted to medicine bypassing ICU
- Clarify definition Violent behavior code - supposed to be 2nd to dementia but is used for anyone who is violent
- Clarify definition of Panelling /discharge code-906 why does it say in the code book primary reason for admission to ward bed?
- Clarify definition Muscle deconditioning and pain control-we feel it is highly overused
- Clarify definition Palliative care-need criteria to follow
- Acute coronary Insufficiency and Unstable angina-description in code book should be reversed
- There currently is no codes for: hematuria- we have lots of people who are getting CBI for hematuria NYD
- Regarding the KATZ ADL assessment for feeding; when a person arrives to the unit within the first 24 hours NPO either for a test or for GI Bleed does this qualify as Dependant? The KATZ says 'Dependant is assistance to eat; does not eat (I interpret this to include NPO); must be fed; fed partly or completely by NG or IV.
- Regarding the KATZ ADL Continence for assessment; does the use of a foley from home or within the first 24 hours qualify as Dependant. The KATZ states "Dependant as assistance; incontinent or cathether used (as with the use of a foley).
- Will a position be created to focus on quality control through chart audits to ensure our data is consistent? It would be nice to have some feed back.
- The Diagnostic coding book would benefit from a thorough "overhaul" to itemize specific criteria for coding definitions. As a group each month we could perform audits in each dx category with the goal of talking about codes etc in order to all understand when and where to use them. The Wiki may be the best way to do this.
