===ARF transfer considerations === | |||
** 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. I believe the above information for integrity checks is wrong. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:41, 20 July 2011 (CDT) | ** 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.

Are you talking about the ARF checkbox in Apache or the DX? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:45, 21 July 2011 (CDT) | |||
