If a procedure was started but then aborted, collect the procedure as if it had been completed successfully.
| Background |
|
We decided that our coding will not track whether a procedure was aborted (aka a "failed procedure"), or was a failed procedure while still in surgery, as part of CCI Collection. We used to specifically collect failure or abandonment status on some procedures (e.g. inoperable cancer). In CCI, failure would need to be coded by appending "Status A" after the code. This would require an extra field for something we never generally coded before, so it was decided not to code this. |
