When to code in Admit or Complication slots
Palliative Care Service should only used as follows:
- ADMIT slots:
- only if the patient has been previously enrolled in and is currently being cared for by the Palliative Care Service.
- COMPLICATION slots:
- only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Care Services after ward admission.
NOTE: We have now clarified further that Palliative Care Service does not mean the same thing as palliation, comfort care or ACP C. It is the actual Service involvement in care.
