The pathogens are a list of possible entries that make up the sub-code for diagnoses categorized as Infection.
- Refer to: UPL - Universal Pathogen List, for a list of "bugs" we track.
- The pathogen subcodes are drawn from the S_Pathogens table in CCMDB.mdb.
The 5 day post discharge RULE for Culture report follow up
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
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)?
colonization
- Wondering if colonization with resistant organism can be changed to place the organism first, and the category after. i.e. VRE+, COLONIZATION after. This enables us to see the bug right off the hop. --FLindell 15:07, 28 January 2011 (CST)

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.
