Have you considered the CCI, but coding it in a way that isn't taught to non patient care staff? It could easily be documented as something like "Prescribed Meds easily abused", or some such idea. One that mainly ED staff would understand but that wouldn't be any more detrimental than HIV positive, MRSA positive, etc.

We are trying to capture this at the medical record level and not at a patient account level, so it can be accessed by clinical staff. We have thought about using critical care indicators, but they are not confidential and would be viewable by non patient care staff.
