The full name in the coding guide is "VIOLENT BEHAVIOR - 2nd TO MODERATE/ SEVERE DEMENTIA" but had to be shortened to fit on the PDA.
Discussion
- Can collectors please provide examples of other reasons besides Dementia that is causing violent behavior on wards????TOstryzniuk 17:06, 29 July 2008 (CDT)
- 899-3- Schizophrenia(comorbid)
- 539-00- acute Psychosis
- 599-11- Toxic encephalitisdrug withdrawal/intoxication (other neurological problems)
- 540-00- Delerium/Confusion-NYD
- Head Injuries Jan Kothuber
- Most of the examples listed here are conditions that can cause violent behavior. This is well known, i.e. if there is a diagnosis of psychosis, then violent behavior should probably be expected. If something is part of a diagnosis, it should not have to be coded separately, should it? If someone has an appendectomy we would not want to code "sutures", right?
So, my question is, is there value in recording VB in this case? Ttenbergen 16:37, 20 April 2009 (CDT)
