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) or nosocomial pneumonia refers to pneumonia contracted by a non ventilated or ventilated patient after at least 48 hours of being admitted to a hospital. *If a pathogen IS isolated from a culture which is drawn greater than 48 hrs AFTER admission, code as a HAP with organism.
A sterile aspiration can become superinfected while in hospital.
If there is insufficient criteria for a VAP in ventilated patients with positive cultures, the patient may still have a 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.
