When to code a patient as post-op: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Within 3-4 days is good enough"

For Concordia MICU ONLY: If the patient was admitted from the Orthopedic ward and/or had any Orthopedic surgery/procedure during their current hospital admission (regardless of length of time of current admission and/or if moved between multiple centers during current admission); then do include the Orthopedic procedure in the admits (tag in the last admit diagnosis code slot). The reason is that the Concordia Directors are tracking the Orthopedic surgery patients that are being admitted to Concordia ICU. We specifically make sure everyone who has had an Orthopedic surgery during their current hospital stay; and then come to ICU for another reason, will have a tag in the last Admit Diagnosis slot indicating this Ortho surgery/procedure. If the patient is admitted multiple times to the unit during a hospital stay then the same ortho procedure/surgery is included as the last admit diagnosis each time.
