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 Template:Discussion *the above name shortening is not good, creates confusion and folks are using this code for other reason for violent behaviour. This is not what we want. Please fix wording in ccmdb.Trish Ostryzniuk 12:13, 2012 July 16 (CDT)

Causes for Violent behaviour

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- 2nd to Drug OD/ETOH Intox/Withdrawal (Toxic Encephalitis) drug withdrawal/intoxication (other neurological problems)
  • 540-00- Confusion/Delirium
  • Head Injuries (code?)

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

Another reason for VB is hepatic encephalopathy, and I am speaking from personal experience here. We could just use the subcode 90 for "other" could we not?NMiller 18:53, 22 September 2009 (CDT)
