Data Integrity Rule -as of 5 June 2000
Never use 100-03 as primary admit diagnosis. Always code the reason for the respiratory arrest first, then code 100-3 only if the following criteria are met:
- A. Code Blue is called
- B. Code Blue record is completed
- C. Pulse is present
- D. Intubation is required

Discussion
Template:Discussion I'm not sure the above rules are realistic in terms of code blue records and a code being called.Some patients are intubated on the ward and brought to ICU or intubated immediately on arrival without an actual code being called. I would think they would be coded respiratory arrest regardless of a code call or not.What do the rest of the ICU collectors do?If everyone is sticking to all of the rules I will remove this discussion.

- I code respiratory arrest for situations that do not fit the above rules; as well as those that do.
