Past history of Covid-19 infection: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

Past history of [[COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)]] is coded in the comorbid only.

{{DiscussTask| If we have a patient that has been hospitalized for a longer period of time, and acquires COVID while in hospital, but by the time they are transferred to your ward is considered recovered, with no long term effects, how should we be coding this? For example a patient had covid Dec.1 on a surgical ward that we don't collect on. They come up to ICU Dec.22 for another issue, and are considered COVID recovered. In this case, the only way I see to code this is as a Comorb past history of Covid-19, even though this ~~occured~~ during their current stay.}}

** This would be relevant to any [[Comorbid Diagnosis]], so if we change anything it should be documented there. [[Comorbid Diagnosis]] mentions "Dx is in the past and is resolved and is included in one of the: Category: Past medical history codes" as a reason to code as comorbid - there is no mention of which admission in this part of the definition. Would that answer your question, though? [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 09:32, 2023 February 23 (CST)
