== ~~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.

~~=== Identification ===~~

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

* consider the ~~record with the earlier admit dttm as the "first" and the other the "second"~~

* 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

* the discharge dttm in the first is between <what> and <what> minutes

~~{{discussion}}~~

* link profiles from one ward to another when both wards are within the database program

** {{discussion}} what do you mean "when both wards are within the database program" - would we have data if they were not?Ttenbergen 18:07, 2012 November 22 (EST)

* detect a likely continuous stay when a pt is discharged from one of our wards to a non-collected ward and then re-admitted to one of our wards from the same non-collected ward.

== Critical Care Definition ==

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

*if to be done in the future, Dr. Allan Garland prescribed it based on the paper he did (Sept 7, 2012).

** 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
