We could make the comfort care temp item have 2 possible options: “ On admission” and “On discharge”  just make a drop down option for the one that applies if any.  Just  a suggestion.  Laura

I still have an issue about Palliative.  Sorry, I wasn’t listening attentively when we are discussing this.  The data of interest and/or being requested are whether the patient is on palliation or on palliative care at admission and/or whether decision on palliation occur during the stay or  at discharge. 
We collect COMFORT CARE in tmp to address the issue that the patient is on palliation/ palliative care/ ACP-comfort or end of life care prior or at admission. – this is OK (no question)
Before Nov 2013, we have a DX code referring to PALLIATIVE CARE (904) with the same definition as COMFORT CARE and this can be either in ADMIT OR ACQUIRED dx.  This code can addressed palliation  question both at admission and during admission, correct?
Starting Nov2013, the dx code 904 had a new labelled ‘PALLIATIVE SERVICE” which I thought has the same meaning but seems NOT based on the discussion and WIKI.  If this code is not tantamount to  being in COMFORT CARE, then  I am using the code 904 in acquired  dx incorrectly.  No one is asking data for patients under PALLIATIVE Service.  The request is always  whether  the patient is actually on palliation prior to or at  admission or  became palliative at discharged . 
Looking back, we should have used another  code  ( instead of 904)  for Palliative service to differentiate the two so I won’t mix them up when analyzing long term period of data (say past 5 or 10 years). 
Is there a way to have a similar COMFORT CARE (ACP C/palliation/end of life)  at discharge?
Thanks,
Julie
