hello, i have a question about section I2J urinary tract infection in last 30 days. If a patient was admitted from another hospital and had a UTI and was resolved (antibiotic tx finish) before admission to my unit and i'm doing a 7day MDS do i have to code YES on I2J if the UTI was within the last 30 day? or not if it was resolved already? thanks for any reply.
