* 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 occurred during their current stay. | * 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?

** 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?

***Perhaps the covid infection in the scenario/context above would not be coded at all, similar to a prior uti or other pneumonia/infection that is completely resolved prior to arrival to the collection unit. Following patient discharge, the covid infection will become a comorb code.
