* How do we code chronic dialysis patients? These are the codes I have found: [[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5]] ?, [[Renal dialysis care, including dialysis itself]] in comorbs? and [[Hemodialysis (intermittent)]] from CCI pick list as an admit? --[[User:Jvelasco|Jvelasco]] 10:43, 2018 July 16 (CDT)

** If the patient has it, you would code [[Chronic kidney disease (end-stage kidney disease, ESRD), Stage 5]] as [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] or [[Admit Diagnosis]] (depening which criteria it matches), whether there is dialysis for it or not (e.g. non-compliance or palliative or whatever).

** If the patient has had dialysis, you would code [[Renal dialysis care, including dialysis itself]] as [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] or [[Admit Diagnosis]] (depening which criteria it matches). i.e. if pt is here for a broken leg, dialysis is likely unrelated and therefore a comorbid; if pt is in for a blood stream infection that might be related to dialysis it could be an admit dx.

** You would code [[Hemodialysis (intermittent)]] like any other procedure code: if it happened while admitted to your unit, code it. If it happened and meets criteria as admit px, code it. If it does not meet the criteria as admit px, don't code it.
