*There is a risk of data collectors putting in a code like seizures NOS and then not combining it with the cause. Will this be a problem for our database to lose the cause of some diagnosis? | |||

*When coding septic shock, should we put in the organ damage issues connected to the septic shock code with the same priority number? ie. liver problems, renal problems, thrombocytopenia, etc. related to the shock? If we don't do this we don't really have a shock liver code so with the current list there is nothing to show this link. Just need to clarify this. It is tricky because there can be multiple causes of organ damage even in the same patient.--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:26, 2018 February 8 (CST) | |||
** Yes you should. See [[Combined ICD10 codes]]. Mind you it was kind of hidden, so I used your example to emphasize. However, I guess sometimes one of the codes will be an admit and the other an acquired. Not sure how we will deal with that one. Still needs to be addressed.
