Guideline for coding organ donation after death
This page explains how we code organ donation after death; it has it's own page because may concepts tie together around this and the information should only live in one place.
| Background |
|
We usually encode death in Dispo; for patients with dx Brain death who are moved to a different location for Organ donor (organ/tissue donation by the donor) this means we lose either the info about their death or their new location. We needed a special case compromise to ensure this is dealt with consistently. |
