Patients may show up in our database repeatedly ~~either during~~ the same ~~hospital stay or at a later time~~. ~~If they show up at a later time, but soon after the last hospital stay, they may qualify as "readmission", which we report~~ in ~~'''<in which, monthly, quarterly, annual or all?>'''~~

Patients may show up in our database repeatedly. Our [[L_Log]] records are patient-ward-stay based. Once the [[data processor]] completes the [[centralized data Vetting Process]] (i.e. [[PHIN field|PHINs]] are checked and PseudoPHINs are generated) the PHIN field can be used for linking L_Log records for the same patient. This combining data is stored in [[L Person table]] by [[Encounter processing]].

~~== Multiple Encounters ==~~

If a patient is never discharged in between L_Log entries it may be a '''[[Continuous Stay]]'''.

~~<details>~~

~~== Readmissions ==~~

If a patient is discharged and then admitted again at a later time, but soon after the last hospital stay, they may qualify as '''[[Readmission]]'''.

~~For our purposes~~, ~~readmissions are admissions of patients who were recorded by our database recently~~.

==~~= ICU Definition =~~==

== Multiple encounter longitudinal consistency checks ==

For ~~ICU, a readmission is a patient where~~

For patients encountered repeatedly some data should be consistent between stays.

* (admit date/time) - (most recent ICU discharge date/time) <= 72 hours

* is '''not''' admitted for planned and scheduled surgery

* might be ~~readmitted from Ward or outside hospital~~

~~====Discussion====~~

* why are we considering the most recent ICU discharge date/time only?[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 11:36, 28 May 2008 (CDT)

~~=== Medicine Definition ===~~

The [[data processor]] runs a set of checks during vetting that attempts to find and make consistent the records for patients encountered previously.

~~For medicine,~~ a ~~readmission is a patient where~~

* (admit date/time) - (most recent discharge date/time) <= 7 days after their most recent discharge time

* is admitted from outside hospital

* (Legacy: planned surgery used to ~~be excluded, but this stopped because of insufficient data when we stopped collecting some APACHE elements in~~ the ~~medicine program '''<when?>''')~~

~~====Discussion====~~

* is the detection of med readmits for ~~pts discharged from med~~ previously ~~only, or does it include pts who went home directly from ICU?~~
