| * This was a reminder to add the information that was discussed regarding linking different infections and their bugs to sepsis/severe sepsis and septic shock, even if blood cultures are negative. Also, our pre-ICD 10 coding would have identified positive blood cultures through the codes severe sepsis, septic shock, or septicemia, as we only coded the bacteria or yeast found in the blood culture with these codes (we would attach the "negative culture" to any septic shock or severe sepsis that had negative blood cultures, even if we had a positive culture from a different source ie. urine or wound swab). Should we now be adding the bacteremia code if we actually have a positive blood culture, so that it is clearly identified and extractable for research purposes, or are we not concerned about specifically tracking positive blood cultures?}}
