*Code a procedure as [[Px_Type]] '''admit''' if it was:

**(a) Performed '''within 24 hrs''' BEFORE the [[Arrive DtTm]] '''AND'''

**(b) Was '''causally''' related to the admission -- this is a judgement call, see the examples below

=== Causally related ===

It won't always be so clear if a procedure is related to the admission, and you may have to use your judgement.

A procedure might be coded as an acquired on one ward and an admit on the next - the same as above applies.

*If a procedure was done in one of our collected locations (medicine or ICU) and then the patient was sent to another of our collected locations, use the same concept as above to decide whether to record that procedure in the 2nd location's record.

*'''Example''': On the other hand, if the ward patient got a bedside skin biopsy shortly before transfer to ICU, and the ICU transfer had nothing to do with the skin biopsy, then you would NOT record the biopsy in the ICU record.}}

*It won't always be so clear if a procedure is related to the admission, and you may have to use your judgement.
