****Can’t use palliative care in complication DX slot because palliative care service was not consulted as per this new definition above. I don't know what ACP C is. See [[Comfort/End of life care]] for information when to collect this info.

****This does present a good question though, what do we do with patients who are made "comfort care" and they do not have a palliative consult?? Do we not code anything for this? We will miss this information if we do not put anything in the complication section. Is this what you want?--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 10:56, 2013 October 28 (CDT) | ****This does present a good question though, what do we do with patients who are made "comfort care" and they do not have a palliative consult??

***** Yes, we will miss this information. Like many other things we don't code. If we need this information at some point we can start collecting it. Ttenbergen 10:59, 2013 October 28 (CDT) | |||
