If [[ACP C]] or [[Comfort Care]] is ordered '''after''' a patient is admitted to the unit/ward, you '''cannot code''' Palliative Service in complications. You can only code it if the Palliative Care Service Team is consulted.  
The diagnosis code Palliative Service is unrelated to a patient having [[ACP C]] or [[Comfort Care]] orders, but you might be able to code [[Comfort Care]] in that circumstance.  


*I thought Comfort Care was not to be entered as a Complication/Acquired, but only was to be used as a TMP entry?  Will there be a "Comfort Care" code for complications as well?

*Correct.  Only in TMP and not in complications.  Go to [[Comfort Care]].User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 16:48, 2013 November 13 (CST)
