3.1: How should I record a patient who was for palliative care in the first 72 hours but whom then recovers?

If the patient was in palliative care in the first 72 hours, that status cannot be changed.

If the decision to put the patient on palliative care was made post 72 hours and the patient was subsequently taken off palliative care before discharge, then the palliative care question in section 6 can be amended to say 'no'.
