Additional Info

  • This code indicates only what it says, colonized BUT NOT INFECTED, with an organism. Do not use this code if there is an actual infection (symptomatic or not), for those use the proper infection code.
  • If present on admission, code as a Comorbid Diagnosis, not as an Admit Diagnosis. If applicable, still code Isolation, infectious in CCI Picklist .
  • We are only tracking colonization with the following organisms that infection prevention and control is interested in:
    • MRSA
  • There ARE lots of other bugs that can colonize various parts of the body, almost all of which CAN also cause infection. There is a smallish list of bugs that NEVER colonize and are always believed to be active infectious agent, e.g. Mycobacterium TB, Legionella, Ebola, SARS-2 (i.e. COVID-19).

Colonization

You can use the "set MRSA Colonized" button to enter the following:

Infection

Combined code the following

  • the appropriate code from one of the following
Infection requiring pathogen codes:
Potential infection codes:

Colonized vs local infection

  • If MRSA drawn from an abscess or deep in wound and you think it is causing the "local" infection, else code colonization.

Data Use

Julie reported in 2013 that in the past 2 years there were 2 requests for data related to these variables.

Colonizations are not attributed to any units

We don't have any reports that attribute colonization to any units, so Attribution of infections doesn't apply.
