If code 524 braindead in Admit Diagnosis or Acquired Diagnosis (without code 874 Organ Donor) then move to another ICU, code Organ Donor should appear in Acquired Diagnosis of the next encounter.
exception to rule?
- Could not be an ICU transfer due to lack of space? (Tina)
- Even though due to lack of space, code 874 should appear in acquired slot if there is a next encounter. (Julie)
- That would imply that we would not move a braindead person that isn’t going to become an Organ Donor at the next destination. Is that so? I can see where someone who is 524 once will stay that, but I wonder about the 874 implication. (Tina) Ttenbergen 14:12, 2012 November 5 (EST)
- Even though due to lack of space, code 874 should appear in acquired slot if there is a next encounter. (Julie)
Now that we have Known data errors we could implement this. Any error found would need to be followed up and either corrected or added to known errors. Putting into potential changes. Ttenbergen 10:59, 2015 June 25 (CDT) Template:Potential Change
ICD10
In ICD10 this would include the following codes:
- Brain death
- Organ donor (organ/tissue donation by the donor) - can be dead or alive
- this one includes live donors, so it may no longer be usable for this purpose
