*Continuous Admission: patients that move between ICU's and wards within their own center or to other centers in the city during the same hospital admission. (Trish)
*New encounter: when a patient is discharged from the hospital system in the city back to the community and he then returns to the hospital from the community (generally through the ER), this is a new encounter to the hospital system in the city. (Trish)
** So, does "same encounter" mean the same as "same hospital admission"? We really can't use that since we don't collect on all wards. I was asking Julie about this before, but we didn't finish the discussion. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:53, 29 October 2008 (CDT)
***Isn't this going off onto a tangent?  Depend on how you are looking at the data. Same encounter to one hospital or same encounter to hospital system in the city or new encounter to a hospital or new encounter to the hospital system in the city.
**** We are using the terms, and I need to be sure we are all using them in the same way. I don't think that's a tangent, is it? We are using "encounter" to mean different things at different times.[[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:24, 30 October 2008 (CDT)

Patients may show up in our database repeatedly. Because our L_Log records are patient-ward-stay based, we do not have an inherent link to reflect this.

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

If a patient is discharged and then admitted again at a later time, but soon after the last hospital stay, they may qualify as Re-admission.

Multiple encounter longitudinal consistency checks

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

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