Query was changed to no longer give false positives, and we will deal with only allowing this as a comorbid when we deal with the full problem of limiting dxs to types. |

*This code should only be used as a comorbid diagnosis -- because if putting in the trach was related to admission, or happened after admission, then you wouldn't code this diagnosis, but instead as a CCI procedure code, specifically '''[[Tracheostomy creation]]'''. | *This code should only be used as a comorbid diagnosis -- because if putting in the trach was related to admission, or happened after admission, then you wouldn't code this diagnosis, but instead as a CCI procedure code, specifically '''[[Tracheostomy creation]]'''. | ||
*{discussion} This code could be used as an admit code if the patient is a transfer from another ICU. For example, the patient was in ICMS and there had a trach created, later, the patient was transferred to ICCS. The data collector there will have "tracheostomy, has one" in her admit codes. She would not put it in her comorbids. Our integrity checks do not allow this it seems. How do you want to resolve this? --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 11:36, 2019 April 12 (CDT) | |||
