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.
- Reminder: (change in collection process): if patient becomes ACP C, or Comfort Care AFTER ward admission by the attending DOC, you cannot code Palliative Care service anymore, unless the service is consulted.
- only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Care Services AFTER ward admission.
When NOT to code
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.
DX name change?
It seems like the dx name was changed. Do I need to implement this in CCMDB.mdb? Julie, anything you would need to know about that? Ttenbergen 10:05, 2013 October 31 (CDT)
