Please see below scenario’s, your input is appreciated. Scenario #1-If I have a patient who falls and has a tibia fx but is kept for inability to care for self and admitted for placement issues are we considering this patient a PTOS patient? Scenario #2- Patient fell dx with stroke and wrist fx but kept due to stoke do we pick this patient up as a PTOS patient?

In both of your scenarios, since the patient has a diagnosis that falls within our inclusion code range, they should be considered for PTOS. Note, they will need to meet the LOS criteria or another portion of the inclusion criteria before you confirm them as PTOS.
