* How do we code scabies ?cellulitis other parasite? Please let me know Thanks[[User:SKiesman|SKiesman]] 13:30, 17 November 2008 (CST) | * How do we code scabies ?cellulitis other parasite? Please let me know Thanks[[User:SKiesman|SKiesman]] 13:30, 17 November 2008 (CST) | ||
**Don't code. We haven't been tracking incidence of scabies nor are we going to start. [[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 21:21, 17 November 2008 (CST) | **Don't code.

*Can someone confirm for me again when it is appropriate to use code 59 form pathogen table (aspiration-early presentation with documentation). Many times it occurs where the pt is in respiratory distress and requires urgent intubation and because there LOC was decreased prior to intubation the physician will document that the pt likely aspirated and cxr will show a new infiltrate or the like. The ETT sample may or may not detect a pathogen. Is this a HAP with subcode 59 or is this a HAP with subcode pathogen detected or negative culture.--[[User:MWaschuk|MWaschuk]] 11:26, 16 March 2009 (CDT) | *Can someone confirm for me again when it is appropriate to use code 59 form pathogen table (aspiration-early presentation with documentation).

*Mary-Lou, this topic was discussed with Dan Roberts at a previous meeting. He told us to code HAP or CAP with a subcode of aspiration, if this is known, as the admission code. Then if the patient subsequently has an organism, we are to code this as a complication (eg. HAP with subcode the organism.) Let me know if you have any other questions about this. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:11, 16 March 2009 (CDT) | *Mary-Lou, this topic was discussed with Dan Roberts at a previous meeting.
