This article is about collecting the "ACP Status" temp entry.

Coding Instructions

When you enter a new ICU patient two records will be automatically generated in the tmp table:

• ACP Status at admit (ie within 6 hours of admission)
• ACP Status at end (ie at end of stay resp. at death)

Change the ITEM for each of them to the ACP status at that time. Options are as follows

• ACP C - comfort care
• ACP R - Template:Discussion what means this one?
• ACP M+ - no cardiac resuscitation with intubation either happened or allowed
• ACP M- - no resuscitation / no intubation
• ACP n/a - no documented ACP on the chart

Don't fill Checkbox, dates, numbers, not used for this project

What if ACP-M is documented without +/-?

If ACP M is just written with no qualifiers then one would classify as ACP M-. Since a significant proportion of patient do want intubation but do not want CPR, I do think it is useful to distinguish). Kendiss Template:Discussion

• "-" means no intubation, so how does that work with "Since a significant proportion of patient do want intubation but do not want CPR"? Ttenbergen 15:41, 2015 August 6 (CDT)

Data use / Reporting and Analysis

• would allow QI team to follow:
  • % of patient with documented ACP during ICU
  • Level of care at both admission and discharge
  • % of patients with change in level of care during ICU
  • Level of care at the time of ICU death
