A ~~pair of records~~ for ~~the same~~ patient is ~~a continuous stay if:~~

A continuous stay for a patient per site is having the same [[Visit Admit DtTm]] for the multiple encounters.

* discharge1 and admit2 are 5[[Transfer time rule|*]] minutes - '''''x''''' minutes apart in the same ~~hospital~~

* discharge1 and admit2 are 30[[Transfer time rule|*]] minutes - 48 hrs apart in different hospitals

* the combination of [[Admit ~~From & Discharged To|discharge-to~~]] ~~and [[Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward]] field in the first the [[location field]] in the second match~~

* the [[Admit From & Discharged To|admit-from field]] in the second and the [[location field]] in the first match

~~=== Continuous encounter with intermission at non-collected ward ===~~

~~If all of~~

* [[discharge-to]] and [[admit-from]] are both <local hospital>

* [[Var 2]] on the first record is the same as [[Var 1]] on the second

* the two vars are not a collected ward

~~then this is likely a continuous stay.~~

~~=== Continuous encounter with intermission in OR ===~~

~~For ICU patient transferring to another ICU area Or ICU patient who went to OR and/or comes from OR or Recovery to an ICU~~ ~~between same or different hospital, the max time to consider a continuous link is <= 2days (48 hours). If more than 2 days, the next ICU admission is considered as new admission and not a transfer.~~

~~{{discussion}}~~

* would it make sense to take out the ~~ICU requirement for this? The same might be rarer for Medicine patients but would still be true. I will implement [[Encounter processing]] like that for now unless I hear otherwise~~. ~~Ttenbergen 12:06, 2015 January 22 (CST)~~

*Currently, the multiple encounters of an ICU episode from same or different site is not being done or reported.

** Link one or more ICU whether same or diff hospitals.

1. Gap <= 24 hr and (TO=blank or from=blank)

2. Gap <= 48 hr and previous to = ICU/OR/PACU and from = ICU/OR/PACU

3. the cases discharge to CCU but database has no HSC CCU prior May 1999 **;

From= CCU/OR/PACU and previous to= CCU and 2 < diff < 20
