[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 480827, member: 84"] I'm so happy the transition home went well. The hospital diagnosis is mainly for insurance. In most hospitals there is a scoring system for each diagnosis and patients have to be scored based on the dxes they've been given upon admission each day. If they don't meet pre set criteria to score them enough to stay for their diagnosis and no other diagnosis is added (for whatever reason) the patient is discharged. Why? Mainly because insurances won't pay. And while it sounds greedy on the hospital's part, you have to have bills paid to stay open. This is where letting insurance decide what they would and wouldn't pay for has gotten us. This system is helpful to healthcare personnel too, lets them know what is going on with the patient as well based on scoring how they're progressing. But it's mainly for insurance to make sure they pay. [/QUOTE]
