Violent behavior secondary to Dementia it the only "specific" reason we are tracking violent behavior. We will not change this until we go to ICU10. As discussed with Dr. Allan Garland. Trish Ostryzniuk 12:13, 2012 July 16 (CDT)

In ICD-10 coding, this single entity becomes a co-code of Violent behavior + the appropriate type of dementia.

Do not use code for non-dementia violence

There are psychological problems we code however, we do not differentiate if violence is or is not associated with the any of the following conditions:

• 899-3- Schizophrenia (comorbid)
• 539-00- acute Psychosis
• 599-11- 2nd to Drug OD/ETOH Intox/Withdrawal (Toxic Encephalitis) drug withdrawal/intoxication (other neurological problems)
• 540-00- Confusion/Delirium
• Head Injuries (code?)
  • interesting, no code in Category:Trauma; could find neurologic seizure head trauma 50904, a search of the s_alldiagnoses table didn't find anything except OR codes...

Name shortening

The full name in the coding guide is "VIOLENT BEHAVIOR - 2nd TO MODERATE/ SEVERE DEMENTIA" but had to be shortened to fit into the CCMDB.mdb.
