Repeated events
When one of the diagnoses in Categories Arrhythmia, Testing or Symptom/Sign happens repeatedly during the same ward or unit stay, only code the first one.
| Example:
|
- A person has a self-limited episode of A-fib. It goes away and then recurs. This should only be listed the first time.
- A person has a self-limited episode of A-fib. It goes away but then he has an episode of V-tach. As this is a different diagnosis, both of these should be listed, but only once each.
- Patient comes in with hypokalemia. It’s treated and remits, but the next day it recurs. Only list it the first time.
