Please do not forget to code if patient is [[Post Traumatic Quadriplegia]] as result of the above injury.  Data audit:  I see a fair number of profiles codes with C_Spine with cord injury, yet quadraplegia does not show up in coding until the patient had been transferred to second or third unit. 
Code [[Post Traumatic Quadriplegia]] if applicable.   
*would this not be considered a sequelae in most cases?
**anyone with expertise want to advise further?  Perhaps we don't need to code Quad if all C_spines with cord injury become Quads?


Current collection practice is this: If C_spine trauma on admission, then you must code QUAD (529) if it was determined patient paralyzed by this injury.  Yes it might take many of days to determine if pt is or is not QUAD with this injury however, if determined to be a QUAD what ever number of days after admission, then pt was likely QUAD at admission.

Code Post Traumatic Quadriplegia if applicable.

It might take many of days to determine if pt is or is not QUAD with this injury however, if determined to be a QUAD what ever number of days after admission, then pt was likely QUAD at admission.

No data integrity checks

Since Post Traumatic Quadriplegia may or may not result we can't do a data integrity check for it. Or I can't see how. If one is defined please post here and we can implement. Ttenbergen 22:06, 2014 April 30 (CDT)
