*so if someone who is already PALLIATIVE CARE in the community due to terminal condition, is admitted to hospital with pneumonia, which is going to be treated, then palliative care DX is not to be coded unless Dr notes in chart that patient in palliative care or comfort care this admission because in his opinion, the patient is not likely to survive this admission? So is it being suggested that, we longer code patients that are already deemed to be palliative care while they are coming in and going out of hospital for treatable conditions, such as pneumonia, pain etc., while they are already know to have an untreatable terminal underlying condition? Collectors do any of you have any better understanding on this?-[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 17:38, 2013 October 10 (CDT) | *so if someone who is already PALLIATIVE CARE in the community due to terminal condition, is admitted to hospital with pneumonia, which is going to be treated, then palliative care DX is not to be coded unless Dr notes in chart that patient in palliative care or comfort care this admission because in his opinion, the patient is not likely to survive this admission?
