Should we collect this?
- Discussed at Task; MAID has at least two parts: enlisting and making a plan, and executing the plan (as in active euthanasia). We will add a procedure code for executing a MAID plan, but we will not start coding the condition of having a MAID plan. Ttenbergen 11:21, 2017 July 20 (CDT)
- Julie was also looking into changing how we code other Category:End-of-life related data.
- Julie, I think I wrote that but now I don't actually remember what that was about, and I don't think we clarified it at task, did we? Ttenbergen 13:26, 2017 July 20 (CDT)
- we failed to ask that, let us add that to next meeting - how to add a code for palliative care/ comfort care at discharge and/or change dx palliative service .
