*I agree, it does feel counterintuitive, but if we are following the WIKI guidelines, it seems like this is how we are supposed to code it. I think their is currently a lot of discrepancy in how this is being coded. | *I agree, it does feel counterintuitive, but if we are following the WIKI guidelines, it seems like this is how we are supposed to code it.

**there seems to be confusion all around when to code something as an admit vs acquired vs comorbid. One example we have seen, someone comes in to ICU with stab would injury to heart, has had cardiac arrests, and is in shock. We see the trauma injury to heart coded as comordid. | **there seems to be confusion all around when to code something as an admit vs acquired vs comorbid.

CCI Picklist | |
Procedure: | Isolation, infectious |
CCI Picklist code: | 7.SC.70.SA |
CCI Collection Mode: | CCI collect first |
Start Date: | 2018-04-25 |
Stop Date: |
This procedure is a part of CCI Collection via CCI Picklist.
Additional Info
- This is a procedure code for a patient who is on any sort of infection isolation precautions.
- It includes any/all of the following kinds of isolation protocols:
- gloves only
- gloves and gown
- mask
- negative pressure room use
- reverse isolation
- cohorting the patient with other patients with the same pathogen
In the context of Colonized with organism (not infected)
- If a patient is placed on Isolation, infectious on arrival only for the reason of pre existing MRSA (or other colonization), then code Admit Diagnosis Colonized with organism (not infected) and code the isolation as an Admit Procedure.
- For patients who have MRSA in comorbs, and are admitted for other reasons, put Isolation, infectious in acquired CCI codes.
Isolation for Use of Cytotoxic Agents
- This is NOT included because such isolation (e.g. keeping pregnant nurses from caring for patients getting certain teratogenic medications) is not isolating the patient.
Collecting "CCI collect first" items
- "CCI collect first" items are entered the first time they happen
- Px Date
- if an Acquired Procedure, enter them with the Px Date of the first time they happen
- if an Admit Procedure leave the date blank and just enter the procedure
- Px Count is always 1 for this collection mode
Px Date for patients who move
See Px Date#Moves
