Patient Safety Indicators | Explanation in PSI algorithm in ICD-10-CM |
---|---|
PSI-03, PSI-07, PSI-12, PSI-22: Pressure ulcer, Central venous catheter, Postoperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, Iatrogenic pneumothorax | Four-digit ICD-9-CM codes frequently used in billing practice are included in PSI calculations; however official CMS guidelines require five-digit ICD-9-CM codes. GEMs are only provided for official reimbursable codes. Concepts map forward to ICD-10-CM with additional detail |
EXP-1: Rate of complications of anesthesia | EXP-1 has become discontinued in ICD-10-CM |
PSI-16 and PSI-26: Transfusion | PSI-16 and PSI-26 cause of no translation was due to a wide spread use of parent codes |
PSI-5 and PSI 21: Complications of foreign body during procedure | All 10 ICD-9-CM codes with no GEM mapping to ICD-10-CM. In ICD-10-CM, 219 new codes related to foreign body left in procedure. Complete restructure of concept focused on complications: unspecified, adhesions, obstruction, perforation, other complications, and acute reaction (see figure 4). Only initial encounter is included in PSI ICD-10-CM |
PSI-15 and PSI-25: Accidental puncture or laceration rate | 10 ICD-9-CM codes with no official mapping to ICD-10-CM. In ICD-10-CM, 98 codes related to puncture, laceration. Complete restructure of concept focuses on injured organ first instead of procedure |
