This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.

	I think this code should be removed. Coding Tracheostomy, has one, would be sufficient and this would imply that Tracheostomy care is done. Main office doing checks on data and we can see that there is no consistency and both are not always coded. Trish Ostryzniuk 14:59, 2019 March 8 (CST) AG REPLY: An excellent point. I agree that we should delete it. The only thing we lose is the ability to identify if trach care is the reason for admission -- which happens very rarely. Regarding the related question below, unless somebody is specifically asking for info on trach changes, I don't think it's a big issue to code those at all.

	Could we use this code for trach changes, which we used to collect (ex. when they insert a different size trach for weaning off vent?) --Jvelasco 11:47, 2019 March 14 (CDT) Fundamentally that is what the code would be for, but since we have flagged for Allan whether this should be coded at all I am including this question with that.

Ostomy codes:

You may be able to code Tracheostomy creation if the ostomy is created during this stay.
