Additional Info

  • This item is a part of the recording of procedures in CCI. It is mandatory for every procedure coded. It has 2 possible values: admit versus acquired.
  • It refers to whether the procedure occurred before and associated with the with the patients's admission to the unit OR was done after admission.

Px Type = Admit

  • Code a procedure as admit if it was:
    • (a) Performed within 24 hrs before the Arrive DtTm AND
    • (b) Related to the admission.
  • "Related to the admission" can be less clear.
    • If a patient goes to ward/unit after surgical procedure(s) then code Px_Type = Admit
    • If a patient on the ward/unit gets a bedside debridement which went well, and 10 minutes later developes respiratory distress and goes to a more acute ward/unit because of that respiratory distress, then do not code that debridement at all.
    • If a patient on the ward/unit gets a bedside debridement, during which he/she begins to hemorrhage profusely and are transferred to the a more acute ward/unit because of that hemorrhage, then code that procedure, as Px_Type = Admit
  • If a procedure was done in one of our collected locations (medicine or ICU) and then the patient was sent to another of our collected locations, use the same concept as above to decide whether to record that procedure in the 2nd location's record.
    • On Medicine ward patient got bedside debridement (so of course that procedure would be coded for that ward) and then began to hemorrhage which led to ICU transfer. In this case the debridement was closely associated with the admission to ICU and so would be coded as an "admit" procedure for the ICU record.
    • On the other hand, if the ward patient got a bedside skin biopsy shortly before transfer to ICU, and the ICU transfer had nothing to do with the skin biopsy, then you would NOT record the biopsy in the ICU record.
  • It won't always be so clear if a procedure is related to the admission, and you may have to use your judgement.

why within 24 hrs?

  • The rationale for 24 hrs is as follows:
    • The purpose of Admit procedure coding is to identify procedures for which the patient came to the unit. If the procedure occurred and the patient went to the ward (for example) and then the next day had a complication of the procedure, then certainly code the diagnosis as iatrogenic code (related to the procedure) but that patient did not come to the ICU directly due to the procedure (i.e. postop).

Px Type = Acquired

  • This category is for procedures that occur after Arrive DtTm and before Dispo DtTm.
  • Even if the procedure was planned before admission, but wasn't performed until after, then Px Type is acquired.
    • Example: Patient admitted via ED with an acute abdomen. Plan was to take the patient to the OR for exploratory lap, but the OR wasn't ready yet. So patient went to the ICU first, and within 30 minutes of getting there, THEN went to the OR. This procedure was then acquired.
