~~"Definition~~ of ~~encounter #~~ is the ~~number~~ of ~~admissions to the database~~ of the same patient. "

The Encounter number (Enc in <which of tmsx's files?>) is the count of [[Multiple Encounter]]s of the same patient to our database.

*It is used to ~~capture~~ the ~~number of readmission for~~ a specific ~~patient database~~.

The [[Statistician]] can do it a number of ways depending on type of database request. readmits (encounters) to the ICU and/or medicine program or to a specific program in region or to any hospital in region.

* In the past encounter number was generated by TMSX program utilty, but now only by the [[statistician]] uses [[SAS]] program.

*Example of one patient:

*1. From Home to HSC transf to CON, transf back to HSC discharged home:

**HSC enc 1

**CON enc 1

**HSC enc 2

**this is the first encounter to hospital system in city.

*2. same patient

*From home to HSC transf to VIC transf to CON transf back to HSC discharged home

**HSC enc 1

**VIC enc 1

**CON enc 2

**HSC enc 3

**this is the second encounter to hospital system in city.

(Tina says: this doesn't help. When qualified as "hospital encounter" or "hospital system encounter" it is all clear. I am concerned because "encounter" by itself could mean either unless apparent from the context. For a query I need to know which is meant, especially if the query then goes on to specify earlier and later encounters...)
