=== In the context of [[Colonized with organism (not infected)]] ===
*For a patient with primary admit of CHF who is placed on [[Isolation, infectious]] on arrival to ward for pre existing MRSA, is the isolation coded as an admit or acquired CCI procedure? If acquired, what date is to be entered, the last date of isolation?
If a patient is placed on [[Isolation, infectious]] on arrival '''''only''''' for the reason of pre existing MRSA (or other colonization), then code [[Admit Diagnosis]] [[Colonized with organism (not infected)]] and code the isolation as an [[Admit Procedure]].  
**I think that would be an admit, ie no date. But let's say it was decided only after arrival; then doing a code-once with the date when it stops would seem a bit strange. Again, it would be nice if someone could bring this to task meeting.
*AG REPLY -- if this is done on admission for colonization only, then you'd include [[Colonized with organism (not infected)]] in the admit diagnoses and the isolation would be an admit procedure.

Additional Info

  • This is a procedure code for a patient who is on any sort of infection isolation precautions.
  • It includes any/all of the following kinds of isolation protocols:
    • gloves only
    • gloves and gown
    • mask
    • negative pressure room use
    • reverse isolation
    • cohorting the patient with other patients with the same pathogen

In the context of Colonized with organism (not infected)

If a patient is placed on Isolation, infectious on arrival only for the reason of pre existing MRSA (or other colonization), then code Admit Diagnosis Colonized with organism (not infected) and code the isolation as an Admit Procedure.

Isolation for Use of Cytotoxic Agents

  • This is NOT included because such isolation (e.g. keeping pregnant nurses from caring for patients getting certain teratogenic medications) is not isolating the patient.
