== Continuous stay at one hospital ==
== Medicine Definition ==
As per [[Transfer time rule]] a stay at one hospital is considered continuous if the difference between discharge dttm on one ward/unit and admit dttm at the next is '''at least 5 minutes'''.  
A continuous stay for a patient per site is having the same [[Visit Admit DtTm]] for  the multiple encounters.
