Figure 3:

A convoluted mapping to International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) for Patient Safety Indicator (PSI)-15 ‘Accidental puncture’. Healthcare conditions coded as ICD-9-CM ‘998.13’ (Seroma complicating a procedure) and ‘999.99’ (Other and unspecified complications of medical care, not elsewhere classified (NEC)), which are unrelated to the current measurement of PSI-15, regrettably map to the ICD-10-CM codes required for reporting this PSI. Additional mapping of 998.2 to another 22 ICD-10-CM codes are not shown since they relate to the concept of Accidental puncture.
