===Coding Nosocomial infection with an infection with an implied pathogen=== | |||
* If you have a patient that has a nosocomial infection and that nosocomial infection is an infection with an implied pathogen, code both as separate [[Acquired Diagnosis]] with separate priorities. for eg. (1) [[Influenza pneumonia]] (which has an implied organism) and (2) [[Nosocomial infection, NOS]] with the organism being [[Influenza virus NOS -- should almost never be used]]. | |||
