Renal Coding Considerations (old): Difference between revisions

Line 34:

* have TISS 53, 54, 55 but no Renal failure DX (350, 351, 352, 355, 356, 398, 450-499, 327, 357)

* from community hosp to teaching hosp with DX of 350 AND no dialysis on TISS at community hosp AND DX of 350 AND TISS 53, 54 or 55 marked at teaching hospital, then the DX of ARF for community hospital is correct.

** When a pt with ARF from a tertiary hospital is transferred to a community hospital and no dialysis is needed there, the data collectors at the community hospital should not be coding ARF because the renal failure is resolving. They can code ARI. This is my understanding. Trish please let me know if this is the way you also see it. I believe the above information for integrity checks is wrong. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:41, 20 July 2011 (CDT)

See comment for data collectors:

** When a pt starts out in a community hospital and is given a diagnosis of ARF by the doctors, please do not code ARF unless dialysis is started there. Code ATN or ARI instead. If the pt is transferred to another center to start dialysis, the collector there will code ARF. When a pt with ARF from a tertiary hospital is transferred to a community hospital and no dialysis is needed there, the data collectors at the community hospital should not be coding ARF because the renal failure is resolving. They can code ARI. This is my understanding. Trish please let me know if this is the way you also see it.
