H1N1 is a subspecies of Influenza A. | * Just some clarification...any patient who is positive for Influenza A should be coded in TMP as a '''suspected H1N1'''.

***No, don't tag unless positive culture for H1N1 or we'll have way to many cases. Tag if positive for H1N1 even if no CAP...influenza often triggers asthma or COPD exacerbation.

**Any CAP or COPD that comes in whether they are placed in isolation or not and a swab is sent, should be considered suspect and tagged as such?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 12:36, 15 June 2009 (CDT) | **Any CAP or COPD that comes in whether they are placed in isolation or not and a swab is sent, should be considered suspect and tagged as such?[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 12:36, 15 June 2009 (CDT) | ||
***People are going to start screening for H1N1 just in case. That is probably what they are doing. Same with CAP/COPD isolation…it’s just precautionary. I would only tag '''suspected H1N1''' if they start '''oseltamivir'''.

* I have a pt who was tagged as suspect, but the result was negative for any influenza virus. Would it be easier if we had another tag for confirmed negative? I am wondering if it would save time later for people following up on the influenza patients. | ===June 17,09=== | ||
