The following are the guidelines for coding Angiograms (as discussed with Trish): | |||
-When a patient goes for an angiogram and is then admitted to ICU the Angiogram is part of the ICU Admit Diagnosis. | |||
-When a patient admitted in an ICU goes for an angiogram and returns to the same ICU the Angiogram is an ICU Acquired Complication. | |||
-When either of the above patients are transferred to the Medical ward '''DO NOT''' code the angiogram as part of the Medicine Admit Diagnosis. The data between continuous ICU and Medicine admissions can be linked; so there is no need to code the angiogram twice. | |||
--When a patient admitted in an ICU goes for an angiogram and does not return to ICU; but, goes directly to a Medicine ward post-angio the Angiogram is a part of the Medicine Admit Diagnosis.[[User:Mlaporte|Mlaporte]] 18:24, 18 January 2011 (CST) | |||
