TISS76-Procedures Interventions

TISS therapeutic variables T91 to t96

• T91 - Diagnostic Procedure Outside of ICU - Points if accompanied by ICU nurse for test, procedure outside of ICU. If by transport team, no points
• T96 - Operative Procedure - day of surgery only; Angioplasty also gets point.

Pt's who go for procedures like IVC filter, cystoscopy, radiologist guided pigtail insertion,CT guided drainage of abscess, do they get points for operative procedure on the TISS? I know angioplasty does. There are some things we mark on our PDA that fall under OR but do they all count as OR on the TISS. --MWaschuk 20:14, 29 September 2008 (CDT)

• The PDA only allowed a limited number of grouping for the diagnostic codes. There are a number of "diagnostic" procedure scattered amongst the surgical codes. A diagnostic procedure is not a surgery, therefore TISS item 96 should not be marked.

• I don't put operative procedure on the TISS (T96) for these items but you bring up a good question, why do we count angioplasties as an operative procedure and not other invasive procedures? Maybe Trish could comment on this? --LKolesar 09:50, 2 October 2008 (CDT)

• We have include patients that go for angioplasty as a surgical procedure because when we started data collection in ICU, plasty's/stent were always sent to CCU and required alot of post care. We have kept that process going in order to try a be consistent. Things change over time.... Will put this on the list to discuss this at ICU TASK group. TOstryzniuk 18:13, 3 October 2008 (CDT)
