This article is about Multiple Encounter patients who have not been discharged in between encounters.
Continuous stay at one hospital
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.
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 discharge-to and Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward field in the first the location field in the second match
- the admit-from field in the second and the location field in the first match
- see Transfer time rule re the acceptable differences between discharge and admit time to consider as continuous stay
- 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.
