This page explains how we use culture reports to confirm infections and pathogens.


Pathogens should only be coded if they have been lab confirmed. Template:Discussion is that true? how about suspected and treated...? Ttenbergen 00:29, 2017 December 4 (CST)

Follow up all culture reports up to 5 days after discharge from unit. If pathogen is still not available then, enter Template:Discussion what will we enter in ICD10, Infectious disease NOS OR for buglist organism NOS? Not an Infection (ICD10 pathogen alternative)? Soemthing different yet? Ttenbergen 00:29, 2017 December 4 (CST)

Waiting for lab microbiology results:(5 days usual for blood cultures, 2 week for Cadham)
