=== Which therapeutic procedures to collect/include ===

*Here are the rules for what we will code and what we won't code:

*# Include ''all codable therapeutic procedures'' done '''outside the patient’s unit'''.

*1. Include ''all codable therapeutic procedures'' done '''outside the patient’s unit'''.

*# Include ''all codable therapeutic procedures'' done '''using an endoscope''' (in or out of the patient's unit) - whether inserted through an orifice, incision or wound.

*2. Include ''all codable therapeutic procedures'' done '''using an endoscope''' (in or out of the patient's unit) - whether inserted through an orifice, incision or wound.

*# In addition to (1) and (2) code the following (and '''only''' the following) therapeutic procedures done in the patient’s unit - but '''only the FIRST DAY it was done''' during the patient’s stay on that unit:

**'''Important note regarding the meaning of "ALL CODABLE therapeutic procedures" as used above. As we're not including all 18,000 CCI procedures, there are many procedures we are not seeking to capture. The way this limitation shows itself is that the 2nd level of coding of therapeutic procedures (2nd level identifies "what was done" to the body part chosen in the 1st level) does not include all available options -- some that are not included in our CCI subset are dressings, oxygenation, and many others.'''

*3. In addition to (1) and (2) code the following (and '''only''' the following) therapeutic procedures done in the patient’s unit - but '''only the FIRST DAY it was done''' during the patient’s stay on that unit:

**arterial catheter placement

**PEG

**tracheostomy placement (i.e. done bedside)

* for criteria or specific comments about a specific CCI code, please comment in the page for that article; see [[CCI Picklist]] and [[CCI Component]] for complete list.

***{{Discussion}}why is there no xray under CCI component entries I want to enter acquired/ foot xray/ so I put in acquired/then DI of lower limb then I want to enter xray but there is none so then do I enter Inspection?exploration?

== Procedures not coded ==

We don't code all procedures. Generally, if it is not on the list, we don't code it. Here are some examples of procedures we have specifically considered, and decided not to code.
