=== Coding multiple ulcers ===

*If there are pressure ulcers on DIFFERENT body parts (e.g. left heel, right heel, coccyx) then code them separately ~~-- even though they will not be readily distinguishable as the code doesn't include body location.~~

* If there are pressure ulcers on DIFFERENT body parts (e.g. left heel, right heel, coccyx) then code them separately

* If there are multiple pressure ulcers close to each other on the same body part (e.g. coccyx area) then only code the one with the highest/worst stage.

*If there are multiple pressure ulcers close to each other on the same body part (e.g. coccyx area) then only code the one of the highest/worst stage.

===Coding Progression of Ulcers===

* Progression of Ulcers should be coded following our guidelines for [[Acquired Diagnosis]] combine each stage progression with the date and time it was noted in the chart.

~~If there are multiple pressure ulcers follow the above guidelines -- even though they will not be readily distinguishable as the code doesn't include body location.~~

* Julie will report on the worst stage from [[Acquired Diagnosis]]

** How will that work now with the locations included? How will the report aggregate? And: which report? It should link to the diagnoses using the wiki infrastructure. If you tell me which report(s) I can set that up. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 15:35, 30 June 2025 (CDT)

** what is the rank of this in relation to decubitus stages? is this before stage 1 or what? - Julie

*** By "this" do you mean the [[:Category:Decubitus Deep Tissue Damage]]? It's not before 1, it's a different thing and can apparently be serious, and likely to progress to a higher stage pressure ulcer. Might be best to report it as its own thing. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 01:25, 31 July 2025 (CDT)

** Julie emailed Carmen Hrymak 7/13/2025 to inquire about the reporting of ulcer rate now that the locations of ulcer were added. Waiting for response. }}
