Data Integrity Rules

If CRF (351-00) is coded as comorbid then the following must not appear in Admit/Acquired codes

  • ARI (364-00)
  • ATN (352-00)
  • ARF (Diagnosis) (350 **) must not be coded as Admit/Acquired except if Renal Transplant (805 00) is also coded as a comorbid

These rules are currently checked at the main office and result in calls for clarification from Pagasa if broken.

discussion

  • I think we decided to get rid of the renal transplant part for this, right? If so, please remove both that part and this comment... Otherwise, the one-week clock is now ticking for its removal, pending an explanation why it should not be removed. Ttenbergen 10:57, 23 April 2009 (CDT)
