The DC Treatment yes/no field is checked/set to true for critical care patients if life-support treatment is terminated.

The field is on the "Reg & ADL & Var" tab on the Patient Viewer in CCMDB.mdb.

DC TX & Transfer Ready Date/time

If the unit physician discontinues life-support treatment (withdraws therapy) on a patient, leave the Transfer Ready date and time blank.

See Transfer Ready date and time for more details.

Legacy Information

This field was also collected in Medicine until 2013-07-04. Collection stopped because the distinction is not clear enough for coding on a medicine ward. See: Comfort Care article.
