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.
- Important note: (change in collection process): if patient becomes ACP C, or comfort AFTER ward admission by the attending DOC, you cannot code Palliative Care service anymore, unless the service is consulted. See Comfort Care for more information.
- 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.
