There will always be a delay between an actual infection and the time at which the infection is confirmed by the lab, or manifests so it can be determined without lab clarification (for diagnoses where we allow that). Some of our reports "attribute" infections to units on which they happen if they are an Acquired Diagnosis.
Is the following correct, then:

Diagnoses with specific attribution rules
We have specific attribution rules as documented in their pages for the following diagnoses:
- Iatrogenic, infection, central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection (CVC-BSI, CLI)
- Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP)
- Iatrogenic, infection, urinary catheter
- Template:ICD10 Guideline Iatrogenic deals with attribution of surgical infections
- Nosocomial infection, NOS
Attribution for all other infections
|
attribution doesn't apply to colonization
See Colonized with organism (not infected)#Colonizations are not attributed to any units
Cleanup
When this is all settled, the details need to be integrated into Template: ICD10 Guideline Infection, Lab and culture reports, Infections in ICD10 |
