Definition

  • This is a procedure code for a patient who is on infection isolation precautions.
  • The person does NOT have to turn out to have the condition for which isolation is indicated.
    • Thus use it if a patient is put on isolation for TB, or COVID-19 even if they turn out NOT to have those infections.
    • Can also use it for somebody put on isolation prophylactically, as is the case with reverse isolation.
  • It includes any/all of the following kinds of isolation protocols:
    • gloves only
    • gloves and gown
    • mask
    • negative pressure room use
    • reverse isolation -- i.e. a person at risk for getting infection (e.g. neutropenic after chemotherapy for cancer) is isolated to try and avoid them being exposed
    • cohorting the patient with other patients with the same pathogen
    • use for those AGMP's that are continuous e.g. BIPAP, CPAP, Optiflow . Do not use for one time AGMP's where there is no other indication for isolation. e.g intubation, bronchoscopy, CPR, nebulizer medications
  • In BiPAP, CPAP, NIV, own ventilator (Mechanical ventilation, noninvasive) and T21 - Non-invasive CPAP or BIPAP (TISS Item), when bipap and cpap are mentioned, Optiflow is excluded explicitly. Should it be included here? Ttenbergen 14:07, 2022 February 8 (CST)
    • not sure what you mean by this, optiflow is included under T20 - Supp O2 through any device, delivered via nose, mouth, ETT or trach (TISS Item) , we do not capture optiflow on the wards as a CCI, the only item captured when optiflow is used on the wards would be the isolation CCI Lisa Kaita 08:05, 2022 April 28 (CDT)
      • All I meant is that different items are included on the lists, sometimes Optiflow is on there and other times it's not. I don't know what it is, or why it is sometimes included and not other times, there may be good reasons, I just wanted to make sure it's not an inconsistency that has snuck in over time as things were updated in one place but not another. If you understand my question, but think all is clear and right, then please feel free to take out the question. Maybe put in the edit summary that you considered the question and determined all is right - that way if I see the edit later I know the question wasn't just removed accidentally.

In the context of Colonized with organism (not infected)

Do not use this code for 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.

This code is similar to Patient is on isolation (TISS Item) but collected as a different CCI Collection Mode, so we decided to keep both.
