I have a patient that does meet the criteria for a UTI, but does not meet the criteria for a CAUTI but the patient did have a foley catheter in place during the stay. Although, I would not pick up the CAUTI as an Event since it does not meet all of the criteria, would I still pick up the UTI as an Event?
Yes, if it does not meet CAUTI and does meet UTI, pick up UTI.
