* So how do you check for patients with renal transplant in comorbid, done many years ago, but patient has been receiving outpatient dialysis for some time because of transplant failure prior to admission? [[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 16:22, 8 October 2008 (CDT)

** We just check the ''data'' as part of the checks done as requested by Julie. Your question seems to relate more to how the data collectors should be ''getting'' that data. You have identified an important question that should be addressed as part of the article [[Renal Transplant]]. Should we move this thread there instead?

* discussion Tina/Julie: If having more than 1 encounter (i.e.: continuous or same hospital admission), then Codes 350 and 351 should not appear together in at least one of the encounters. Why should they occur together in any? That happens and definitely that is encoding error. Ideally, should be all 350 in all encounters or all 351 in all encounters. Umm… ideally? So, flag it or not? Flag it
