• I would like to eliminate code 1100 & 1101 from Access drop down list. For pneumo's related to lines, tests or procedures collectors must use code 980. Code 1100 & 1101 are redundant as far as I can see. Any comments?--TOstryzniuk 19:10, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
  • I am glad that you are eliminating duplicate codes, however I think that the complication section should be eliminated. The numbers can stay the same but each "complication" should be placed in its' respective body system ie. respiratory, cardiovascular, etc. It is confusing to new staff to have a complications section which only contains certain complications. I think the whole diagnostic structure can be made easier. I don't mind helping with this revision and discussing this further. --LKolesar 16:15, 3 November 2010 (CDT)
    • Are you referring to: Significant complications article? These codes are already in in a organ system category in the Diagnosis Coding category, that is why most codes have links in this article. I agree the article is too long. I was thinking about creating a "category" called: Category: Significant complication medicine & another for ICU then depositing each Dx article into this category. Not sure if this would be the best way to find this list though. I know it would be more cumbersome to look through on the Wiki because you would have to look at each DX article in the category one at a time. Dr. Roberts and Julie both need to refer this "specific Complication list" that we we collect for med or ICU. These complication are a priority above all other codes available to collect as acquired complications. There is also a list for Significant complications that on Wiki. These are complication we look for specifically and they are a priority above any other codes available as acquired complications.
