- Pt's who go for procedures like IVC filter, cystoscopy, radiologist guided pigtail insertion,CT guided drainage of abscess, do they get points for operative procedure on the TISS? I know angioplasty does. There are some things we mark on our PDA that fall under OR but do they all count as OR on the TISS. --MWaschuk 20:14, 29 September 2008 (CDT)
- The PDA only allowed a limited number of grouping for the diagnostic codes. There are a number of "diagnostic" procedure scattered amongst the surgical codes. A diagnostic procedure is not a surgery, therefore TISS item 96 should not be marked.
- I don't put operative procedure on the TISS (T96) for these items but you bring up a good question, why do we count angioplasties as an operative procedure and not other invasive procedures? Maybe Trish could comment on this? --LKolesar 09:50, 2 October 2008 (CDT)
- We have include patients that go for angioplasty as a surgical procedure because when we started data collection in ICU, plasty's/stent were always sent to CCU and required alot of post care. We have kept that process going in order to try a be consistent. Things change over time.... Will put this on the list to discuss this at ICU TASK group. TOstryzniuk 18:13, 3 October 2008 (CDT)
