**We do not have any guideline therefore this needs to be decided. Trish is going to ask the doctors if capturing aspiration is more important or if the organisms are more important if only one is to be entered. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 09:09, 2012 April 19 (CDT) | **We do not have any guideline therefore this needs to be decided.

***I understood that if we code CAP-aspiration as an admit Dx and if the culture comes back positive; we are to then to code it as HAP in the acquired DX (ie acquired: HAP-with the bug). I am trying to find the minutes from the team meeting when Dr. Roberts stated this and will copy if able to locate.

***Trish, what is the outcome of your discussion with the doctors on this issue?? I have outstanding patients that I do not know how to code their diagnosis properly and Julie sent me an audit of all my CAP aspiration patients but I still don't know your decision on how to code these so the audit is sitting on my desk. Please respond asap. Thanks!--[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 08:36, 2012 May 10 (CDT) | |||
