Additional Info

Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) is a program that allows terminally ill patients to access the assistance of a physician to control the time and circumstances of their death. See links under #Program Details for more info.

See Deceased patients#General instructions for deceased patients and Guideline for coding organ donation after death.

Collection Instructions for MAID

  • Code this for patients who are admitted to your ward/unit and either:
    • receive this assistance on the ward/unit
    • receive this assistance during the same admission at your institution but was moved to a separate location (eg. a procedure room/area) for the purpose of receiving MAID
  • Do not code this if the patient simply has a MAID consult, even if they agree to have MAID in the near future. Code it only once the assistance as been provided. If the person is being transferred to another facility (eg. from St. Boniface to HSC) the collector of the receiving facility would be the one to code (the collector of the sending facility does NOT code).
What if the STB patient went to a HSC_ward that is not a collection unit for sole purpose of MAID?

  • Do not code this in a record if the patient was transferred to a different institution to undergo MAID -- instead it should be coded at that other institution.
For a patient at HSC who will receive MAID and is transferred to another ward within HSC for the purposes of MAID do we put out dispo as HSC_ward or Died to Morgue?  If we put HSC_ward it will trigger the same error message of needing a disposition of death? Sorry can't recall if we actually addressed this at TASK Lisa Kaita 06:37, 2022 February 4 (CST)

Legacy info

  • When we started out this dx used code U23, but then as of 2018-07-17 ICD10 actually added a code for this so we changed ours to that code. I don't really think we are interested in keeping that very early test data, so this comment can probably just go, and we can delete them. I am removing the code from our s_ICD10 table.
