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. 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 by Encounter processing.
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.
