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. 
See criteria in [[Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP)]].
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.
