| = Old coding =
| |
| The '''pathogens''' are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized as [[:Category: Infection | Infection]].
| |
| *Refer to: [[UPL]] - [[Universal Pathogen List]], for a list of "bugs" we track.
| |
|
| |
| *The pathogen subcodes are drawn from the '''[[table S_Pathogens]]''' table in [[CCMDB.mdb]].
| |
|
| |
| == Culture reports (old) ==
| |
| Follow up all culture reports '''up to 5 days after discharge from unit'''. If pathogen is still not available then, enter [[Unknown Pathogen]].
| |
|
| |
| === Special Codes ===
| |
| *[[No Culture Sent or Resulted]]
| |
| *[[Unknown Pathogen]]
| |
| Could someone please fill in specifics about how or when these are to be used? Specifically, if we know specific bugs, are there any that should be coded implicitly even if there are others (ie precedence rules)?
| |
|
| |
| == Coding when antibiotics are given but no cultures ==
| |
| If there is evidence of an ongoing infection, even if no further culture code the previous pathogen.
| |
|
| |
| If no culture is sent then we choose the subcode [[No Culture Sent or Resulted]]
