Trach Task
The trach task encodes whether or not a medicine patient has a tracheostomy. It is stored in the Diagnosis tab in ccmdb.mdb because that is the only way we could store it when we started to collect it.
Instructions
Medicine ward patients have lines created automatically under the diagnosis tab. The one for this element needs to be changed to one of the following:
- 100100 - Trach None
- 100101 - Trach Acute - fresh trach has been in place for less than 48 hours by admission
- 100102 - Trach Chronic - chronic trach has been in place for 48 hours or more by admission
