ICU Database Task Group Meeting – Jan 11, 2023
Copied here as starting point for 2023, please edit/overwrite
- Present: Allan, Gail, Julie, Michelle, Mindy, Stephanie, Tina, Val, Pagasa, Mailah
- Minutes prepared by: AG
- Action items in BOLD
1. Transition to Database Server#Shared Health - Nothing new about either of the possible alternative options for hosting the database.
2. Controlling Dx Type for ICD10 codes - Regarding the task to improve data collector diagnosis assignment into the 3 "bins" of admission diagnosis, acquired diagnosis and comorbid diagnosis.
- Lisa indicated that for a first pass on this, she will distribute all the codes among all the collectors.
3. New item: Clarification of Pulmonary emphysema or bullous disease without COPD. Allan modified this Wiki entry to make it clearer.
4. New item: Regarding the code Sudden cardiac death (and died)
- After discussion we recognized that we have no need to specifically code patients' cause of death. We know it occurred by virtue of the Dispo field. Thus we agreed to remove this item from the list of ICD-10 codes, and to have Julie go into all records where it has been recorded and remove it. Allan modified the Wiki page also.
5. New question: It was noticed that an error occurs if a diagnosis of Influenza is recorded (which is an implied bug) and one attempts to combine it with a Nosocomial problem code. Tina will fix this.
6. Followup item from long ago: Seeking to get ABGs at Grace Hospital to be included in the Lab Info System (LIS).
- The last time we tried for this, in 2015, the resp therapy group at Grace was not interested in being required to manually logging this information into LIS, as IS done at HSC and St. B.
- We think they may be more open to it now -- so today Allan emailed Heather Smith, asking her to raise it with them.
- If they indeed are willing, Allan will talk to Dr. Soroko about getting it implemented.
7. Uncertainty of when/how to use Complication of labor and delivery, NOS
- As our database is only for adult patients, this code should not be used to indicate such a complication for a newborn. For example: During hospitalization, such a complication occurs, but it only affects the newborn and has no medical consequence for the mother --- here this code should not be used.
- Of course, for some such complications when the newborn with a complication becomes an adult, that problem persists, e.g. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. If that adult is then admitted, it is the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that should be included as a Comorbid Diagnoses -- again you would NOT code Complication of labor and delivery, NOS.
- The only time Complication of labor and delivery, NOS would be coded is when the mother incurs that complication herself, AND there is not a more specific code for the complication she incurred.
