Hi Everyone,
I have a question and I want to know what everyone's practice is on the
subject. When I am doing chart abstract and reviews on our severe sepsis
patients I come across patients who get discharged to Hospice either home or to
inpatient Hospice in our hospital but they aren't admitted anymore and itsd a
completely different admission so they are technically discharged from acute
care. Then the patients who go to hospice expired. My question is that would
you count them on your mortality list or say they survived discharge from
acute care setting? Like I said even though there is an inpatient hospice they
are completely separated from the hospital admissin and don't even show up on
our regular mortality list. I hope I explained this well.
Thank You,
Dana
