Clinical Scenario 2: In the ED, a Foley catheter was inserted for the patient with dysuria and elevated WBCs that was removed two days after admission. The cultures were positive for E.coli and the progress note reflects a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) and this was coded. Quality has requested a review of the HAC condition to ensure it should be coded as it does not meet the CDC definition for CAUTI. 

Query 2: The quality department has indicated that your documented diagnosis of CAUTI does not meet the CDC definition which impacts the Hospital-Acquired condition statistics for your profile as well as the hospital. Does your patient have a catheter-associated urinary tract infection? Once you’ve reached a conclusion, please explain your answer.
