* Can we have some direction on early onset HAP? For example if a patient comes into hospital doesn't have an infiltrate on CXR or signs of pneumonia (ie in hospital for something else)and on day 2 of admission gets intubated and aspirates during intubation. The secretions grow pathogens on the day of intubation but the infiltrate doesn't show up until day 4. Do you call this HAP or CAP? (Gail)

Coding instructions

Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition

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.

Early-onset

Template:DiscussAllan

Pneumonia develops less than 48 hours of receiving patient to your unit from another inpatient unit

Template:Discussion

  • If a patient is transfered from another ward and develops HAP positive culture within 48 hours of tranfer to your unit then the HAP belongs to the sending facility/ward/ICU and should be in your admit diagnosis not acquired? Please give direction.
