If a LTV patient is admitted from the community with an pneumonia, they are to coded as '''C'''ommunity '''A'''cquired '''P'''neumonia ([[CAP]]).

| == Clarification of coding VAP when moving patients between units in the city ==
| |
| | |
| When coding VAP's they are coded as "complication" when they occur at a specific center. However, when these patients are transferred to other centers and the VAP is still being treated, then the VAP should be coded as part of the admitting diagnosis.
| |
| When Julie looks at VAP rates in ICU's she only looks for the VAP code in the complication slots. The site where the patient had the VAP occur in complication codes is the site that is given the credit. A unit where a patient has a VAP in the admitting diagnosis is not included in stats for VAP rates.
| |
| When a VAP appears in the admission code slots, Julie tracks back to where patient came from and makes sure that the ICU prior to the transfer, coded the VAP in their complications, if not, you will get a query to audit the diagnosis.

| | |
| == VAP acquired in ICU then transferred to Ward==
| |
| * If a patient has a '''VAP''' in the '''ICU''' and is then transferred to the '''ward''', should the ward code the VAP in the admit diagnosis also? I had been talking to the medicine data collectors about this issue and they said they were told not to code it as a VAP but as a HAP.
| |
| **that is not correct.
| |
| **''When a VAP that had been acquired in ICU is not resolved when a patient is transferred to a Medicine ward, and it is still being treated on the Medicine ward then VAP '''should be''' an '''admitting diagnosis''' code. If VAP was '''resolved''' in the ICU before the patient was sent to the ward, then don't include in your diagnosis codes.''[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 19:03, 16 December 2008 (CST)

| ==Arrived w community acquired pneumonia and develops VAP==
| |
| *If the patient was admitted to VM with a community acquired pneumonia, then in ICU grows staph aureus and they now diagnose VAP and change antibiotics, the pneumonia is still active when patient discharged to medicine ward. Do I code it as VAP with staph aureus?[[User:WGobert|WGobert]] 09:04, 16 December 2008 (CST)
| |
| **Just so I am clear: the patient admitted from the community to ICU with primary DX of CAP. In ICU developed a secondary VAP. Sent down to ward with unresolved VAP which continued to be treated? believe this is what you are asking?
| |
| | |
| ***''If pt from ICU with DX VAP then to medicine ward with ongoing VAP requiring continued treatment then YES, must be one of the admitting DX in medicine. If it is the primary reason for ward admission from ICU, then it should be in admit DX 1. ''
| |
| | |
| **''The ICU where the patient was first admitted and developed the "complication" of VAP is given the credit when Julie does stats reporting. Any patient who has VAP in their admitting DX code is not included in the reporting of unit acquired VAP's.''[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 18:56, 16 December 2008 (CST)

| ***Thanks Trish,just wasn't sure if I could code the VAP on medicine. As you know, we are still not using ventilators on our tower units.....kidding....but i wasn't sure. Norine and I discussed this patient, and with the criteria, have coded this patient as a CAP not a VAP. Thanks Wendy

| *''When the Statistician links admissions in the database between ICU'a & medicine wards in the city, those patient that have VAP in admitting diagnosis are excluded from complication statistics. The patient encounter that had the VAP coded in the '''acquired diagnosis''' slot is the unit that is given credit for the '''complication''' occuring in that unit.''

| == Discussion - Coding VAP in Medicine ==
| |
| {{discussion}}
| |
| Only ICU collects [[VAP]] complication date. Is that because Med should never code [[VAP]] complication? If so, that check needs to be done elsewhere... [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 17:40, 19 August 2009 (CDT)
| |
| **Correct - no [[VAP]]'s in Medicine complications. CCMDB.mdb should have the this check programmed into it. If VAP is coded in complication (medicine) then this should be flagged in yellow as an error. Can you do it there? The other option is the data cleaner Pagasa uses, however this is checking data after it is already appended to master database and creates more work for Pagasa. [[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 14:43, 20 August 2009 (CDT)
| |
| *** How about if VAP is coded as admit? I should be able to code it; I'd like to make it a hard "no", though, rather than just yellowing it. OK? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 16:09, 20 August 2009 (CDT)
| |
| ***VAP can be coded as an admit DX when patient moves between ICU. For example: [[VAP]] acquired as a complication at VIC_MICU - patient then transferred to HSC-MICU, [[VAP]] is still an active problem being tx'd therefore [[VAP]] is an admitting DX for HSC_MICU but no start date for [[VAP]] is required if transferred from another ICU.[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 11:17, 21 August 2009 (CDT)
