This page explains how to code Hospital Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) in ICD10. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a type of nosocomial pneumonia that is contracted by a '''non-ventilated''' patient after at least 48 hours of being admitted to a hospital. 

== Coding instructions ==
* HAP is indicated by [[Combined ICD10 codes | combined coding]] three separate ICD10 codes: 
** (1) '''[[Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS]]''' ''PLUS''
** (2) One of the codes for specific types of organisms:
***[[Pneumonia, bacterial]]
***[[Pneumonia, fungal/yeast]]
***[[Pneumonia, viral]]
***[[Pneumonia, NOS]]
** (3) relevant [[Pathogens]], possibly [[Infectious organism, unknown]] or an NOS

== Alternate to consider ==
[[Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in ICD10]]

== Additional Info ==
* If there is insufficient criteria for a [[Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP)]] in ventilated patients with positive cultures, the patient may still have HAP.
* Patients from [[Grace Nursing Home Ward]] - even though this is considered a nursing home type ward, for patients who acquire a pneumonia and meet the HAP criteria '''code HAP'''.
