• If they are merely borrowing the ICU space to dialyze a patient, they should not be entered into our database.
• If the patient is admitted under the care of the ICU Attending, then they should be entered into our database as an ICU admission.
  • This is what the ICU program has advised.--TOstryzniuk 14:54, 27 April 2011 (CDT)
• Don't use this code for patients admitted for acute problem.Code them as whatever the reason they came.ie CHF,Hyperkalemia etc.
