The pathogens are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized as Infection.

The 5 day post discharge RULE for Culture report follow up

  • Follow up all culture reports up to 5 days after discharge from unit.


Special Codes

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)?

Data Integrity Rules

The CCMDB.mdb runs checks for the following:

  • no infections without pathogens
  • no non-infections with pathogens

For details, see the coding in Access.
