Additional Info

  • Unstageable- the depth is unknown- full thickness tissue loss in which the base of the ulcer is covered in slough and/or eschar
  • Suspected deep tissue injury- depth unknown- purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood-filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue.
  • includes necrotic pressure ulcers where the stage is not indicated

This code covers TWO situations:

  • When the stage presumably is known by somebody, but was recorded and so the data collector doesn't have the stage available to them
  • When it is "unstageable" from a technical standpoint, i.e. can't see the wound bed.


Includes

Coding multiple ulcers

  • If there are pressure ulcers on DIFFERENT body parts (e.g. left heel, right heel, coccyx) then code them separately
  • If there are multiple pressure ulcers close to each other on the same body part (e.g. coccyx area) then only code the one with the highest/worst stage.

Coding Progression of Ulcers

  • Progression of Ulcers should be coded following our guidelines for Acquired Diagnosis combine each stage progression with the date and time it was noted in the chart.


Data

  • Julie will report on the worst stage from Acquired Diagnosis
  • How will that work now with the locations included? How will the report aggregate? And: which report? It should link to the diagnoses using the wiki infrastructure. If you tell me which report(s) I can set that up. Ttenbergen 15:35, 30 June 2025 (CDT)
