Pathogens: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

In ICD10 Pathogens are coded as their own diagnosis codes:

The ICD10 buglist contains specific codes for a number of different bacteria, viruses, fungi/yeast, mycobacteria and miscellaneous types of organisms.

Pathogens are coded as their own diagnosis codes:

== ~~The 5 day post discharge rule for culture report follow up~~ ==

They are enterd as [[Combined ICD10 codes]] with those diagnoses that require them:

Follow up all culture reports up to 5 days after discharge from unit. If pathogen is still not available then, enter [[Unknown Pathogen]].

{{ListICD10Category | categoryName = Infection requiring pathogen}}

== Culture reports ==

Pathogens should only be coded if they have been lab confirmed. {{discussion}} is that true? how about suspected and treated...?

Follow up all culture reports '''up to 5 days after discharge from unit'''. If pathogen is still not available then, enter [[Unknown Pathogen]].

Waiting for lab microbiology results:(5 days usual for blood cultures, 2 week for Cadham)

*~~Blood product collection process~~ to ~~include those given during Plasmaphoresis and Dialysis~~.

== Wastebasket codes ==

If you don't see the specific organism in your case, then there are wastebasket codes:

*[[Bacteria, NOS]]

*[[Virus, NOS]]

*[[Fungus or yeast, NOS]]

*[[Nontuberculous mycobacteria]]

*[[Infectious disease NOS OR for buglist organism NOS]] (when you don't have any idea even what type of bug it is)

* [[Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)]] - included for now, not sure yet if it will be used to cross check pathogens {{ICD10|needs review}}.

=== Special Codes ===

* [[Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)]]

* {{ICD10|needs review}} We used to have a code [[No Culture Sent or Resulted]] ; if we want cross-checks requiring this to be filled in we will need some sort of counterpart to that. Ttenbergen 20:03, 2017 December 3 (CST)

* [[Infectious disease NOS OR for buglist organism NOS]]

Will need review with move to [[ICD10]]. {{ICD10|needs review}}
