Explanation of use of iatrogenic codes
Iatrogenic codes
- We will consider a diagnosis to be iatrogenic if it is related to:
- A device -- e.g. a UTI in a person with a Foley
- A procedure -- e.g. hemorrhage related to a surgery
- A medical intervention -- e.g. anaphylactic shock occurring after giving a normal dose of a pharmaceutical
- As always, the determination that the device, procedure or medical intervention was "related" to the new (iatrogenic) diagnosis may often involve judgement.
- BUT we will NOT code a problem as specifically iatrogenic if it's not related to a device, procedure or medical intervention, and is instead simply something that occurred after admission. For THOSE you'll just code them as Acquired Diagnosis. Example is a person who gets a UTI in hospital but has not had urinary catheter recently.
