When to code as an Admit or Complication DX
Palliative Care DX should be coded as follows:
- admit diagnosis: Palliative care: should only be coded for patients that have been previously enrolled in and are currently being cared for by the Palliative Care Service
- complication diagnosis: Palliative care: should only be coded if there is an actual consultation by the Palliative Care Service
Coming to a laptop near you soon: TMP STUDY for primary admit DX of: comfort/end of life care
Template:Discussion needs a project & item name in Tmp. Also need a tmp study article.
- This section will be move to another article. Tina? thanks.
- Collectors any suggestion for Project name in TMP that would be intuitive to all?
- Make a new temp study article, ask people to enter “Admit for: comfort/end of life care” if and only if:
The initial ward admission note written by the ward resident or attending physician documents explicitly that the patient’s primary reason for admission to that ward is for the purpose of providing, comfort care or end-of-life or clearly similar concepts. Do not enter this into TMP if the decision is made by the physician later on during the ward admission.
- The purpose of adding this to TMP is allow medicine program to identify those patients whom the primary plan upon ward admission is comfort/end of life care only
Thank you Tina & Allan and Critical Care Review Group & staff all feedback for this one. Trish Ostryzniuk 19:36, 2013 October 23 (CDT)
