Deep tissue injury (DTI) pressure ulcers are defined as 'purple or maroon localized area of discolored intact skin or blood‐filled blister due to damage of underlying soft tissue from pressure and/or shear' 1.
DTPI is currently indexed to Unstageable even though by definition, an Unstageable can ONLY be a Stage 3 or 4 Pressure Injuries. HOWEVER, by definition a DTPI may resolve without tissue loss.
“Deep tissue injury” is currently indexed to “ulcer, pressure, unstageable, by the site.” However, unstageable ulcers can only be Stage 3 or 4, by definition (“full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar.

While the mechanics of a DTI may be slightly different that a pressure sore in that injury occurs to deeper tissues as opposed to superficial skin commonly associated with pressure sores, the resulting condition can be just as painful, debilitating — and even deadly.
In some cases, a deep pressure injury is suspected but can't be confirmed. When there isn't an open wound but the tissues beneath the surface have been damaged, the sore is called a deep tissue injury (DTI). The area of skin may look purple or dark red, or there may be a blood-filled blister.

If a patient is admitted to an inpatient hospital with a pressure ulcer at one stage and it progresses to a higher stage, two separate codes should be assigned: one code for the site and stage of the ulcer on admission and a second code for the same ulcer site and the highest stage reported during the stay.
However, unstageable ulcers can only be Stage 3 or 4, by definition (“full-thickness skin and tissue loss in which the extent of tissue damage within the ulcer cannot be confirmed because it is obscured by slough or eschar. If slough or eschar is removed, a Stage 3 or Stage 4 pressure injury will be revealed”).
A pressure injury is now described as “localized damage to the skin and/or underlying soft tissue, usually over a bony prominence or related to a medical or another device .”. The injury can present as intact skin or an open ulcer ...
Because documentation sometimes lacks specificity, coders should be educated about the clinical indicators that suggest the presence of deep-tissue pressure injury to allow them to recognize when a query for this condition is appropriate. Clinical indicators on which to educate coders include: Etiology. Risk Factors.
Pressure-induced deep-tissue damage is a serious form of pressure ulcer caused by direct pressure to the skin and soft tissue that causes ischemia. The injury is characterized by purple or maroon areas of intact skin. These injuries can also present as blood blisters.
