Influenza treated: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

*I am confused, as the data collection instructions above say to enter this for any patient who is given a full course of tamiflu. If we have a suspected case, who either dose not get swabbed, or the swab comes back negative, then we do not track these suspected cases anywhere? I have some patients who have a swab ordered, but I cannot find any results on EPR or e-chart. This would mean that all of these suspected and treated cases would not be documented. My only coding choice would be tracheobronchitis-no culture sent or resulted, or Pneumonia-no culture sent or resulted.[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 09:19, 2017 December 29 (CST)

** Hey Michele, from my reading of both influenza tracking and treated, I do the following:

*1) if suspected and treated with a full course of antiviral,and no swab sent or swab = negative enter influenza treated (note swab results in

notes field)

*2) if suspected and treated with a full course of antiviral and swab = positive then enter influenza with positive culture date

*3) if swab sent and no treatment given and swab result= positive then enter influenza with positive result date (I would leave a comment

in the notes field)

*4) if swab sent, and no treatment and swab result = negative, enter nothing (I note the influenza results in the notes field)

*5) if no swab sent and no treatment and swab result =positive, enter influenza with positive result date (comment in notes field)

*6) if no swab sent and treated with antiviral for full course, enter influenza treated (same as #1 above)

Hope this helps,I may have missed a scenario so feel free to add to this,or maybe I have misinterpreted the instructions! [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 12:04, 2017 December 29 (CST)
