This diagnosis is a part of ICD10 collection.
- In ICD10 there aren't special/specific codes for HAP. Instead, HAP is indicated by linking two codes:
- (1) Iatrogenic, complication of medical or surgical care NOS AND
- (2) One of the codes for specific types of bacteria:
- Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a type of nosocomial pneumonia that is contracted by a non-ventilated patient after at least 48 hours of being admitted to a hospital.
- If there is insufficient criteria for a VAP in ventilated patients with positive cultures, the patient may still have HAP.
- Patients from HSC Nursing Home Ward-NH RR2 and Grace Nursing Home Ward-NG - even though this is considered a nursing home type ward, patients who acquire a pneumonia and meet the HAP criteria will be called HAP.
