For other diagnoses, see Admit Diagnosis and Comorbid Diagnosis.
Acquired Diagnoses, also referred to as complications, are the most significant problems, surgical procedures or diagnostic procedures that occur after unit admission. They are coded "in order of occurence" on a ward/unit.
- Complications are recorded in order that they occur on the unit.
Data Structure
Acquired Diagnoses are drawn from S_AllDiagnoses and stored in L_Dxs on the PDA and in the CCMDB.mdb.
Acquired diagnoses do not refer to diagnoses that have been discovered after the patient comes to the unit if it is likely that the patient was admitted to ward with the problem in the first place but it took a few days to figure that out.
Please see diagnostic coding index for Significant complications medicine & Significant complications ICU diagnosis list.
Maximum Number of Acquired Diagnoses
The PDA and the CCMDB.mdb can record any number of Acquired Diagnoses / Complications. However, only the nine (9) with the highest priority will be appended to TMSX.
You can track as many diagnoses as you want as you go along, and then delete or re-prioritize to only send the most relevant.
- As our ICU's have more and more LTV patients that are essentially a hospital hold for IICU ,Riverview etc this section will have to be re-vamped...ex: I have a pt that will soon have been in the ICU for a year. We are losing points and information about this patient as we are only counted for the top "9" with the highest priority. In my case I am deleteing numerous high priority complications because of this...so in the end... what is collected is not indicative of that patient at all????--Wturner 13:15, 7 February 2010 (CST)
- we changed the name to only one of acquired or complication. Which is it? We need to change references in this article accordingly. Ttenbergen 00:29, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
- End of first paragraph says: "Please see diagnostic coding index for Significant Acquireds diagnosis list." There is no such article on the wiki yet.Ttenbergen 14:47, 29 July 2008 (CDT)
- The paper guide said: "We are currently working on a list of specific complication and problems that we prefer to track on wards. " Did that ever get anywhere? When it gets implemented, it should be implicit in the PDA/Access rather than have data collectors track manually what is more important. --Ttenbergen 10:43, 12 August 2008 (CDT)
