A patient will have a "diagnosis" of palliative care if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted. We code Palliative Service as a diagnosis because we did not have a reasonable alternative way to code it when we started to collect it
See Comfort Care for collection instructions on that care goal.
Coding Instruction for Palliative Care Service
Palliative Service code should only be used as follows:
- ADMIT slots:
- only if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted, even if the patient was not accepted to that service
- COMPLICATION slots:
- only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative Services after ward admission even if the patient was not accepted to that service
Purpose and Use
Currently using project Comfort Care in the Alert scale & Overstay Project. This code now only tells us if patient was under Palliative Service.
