Repeated events

When one of the diagnoses in Categories Arrhythmia, Testing or Symptom/Sign happens repeatedly during the same ward or unit stay, only code the first one.

Example:   
  • A person has a self-limited episode of A-fib. It goes away and then recurs. Only code the first one.
  • A person has a self-limited episode of A-fib. It goes away but then he has an episode of V-tach. As this is a different diagnosis, both of these should be listed, but only code once each.
  • Patient comes in with hypokalemia. It’s treated and remits, but the next day it recurs. Only code the first time.
