DC Treatment

The DC Treatment yes/no field is checked/set to true for critical care patients if life-support treatment is terminated.

The field is on the "Registry" tab on the Patient Viewer in CCMDB.mdb.

Legacy Information

This field was also collected in Medicine until 2013-07-04. Collection stopped because the distinction is not clear enough for coding on a medicine ward.
