=== Julie's definition ===
parking here from email until it can be integrated
The reason why I don’t know is because my program in Med
is defining the conditions of new admission and
if not TRUE will all be categorized as continuous stay
(the cut off values are consulted and approved by Dr Roberts). 
Yours is the other way around, you are defining the continuous
stay and if not TRUE will be a new admission.
  Criteria for new admission per hospital:
    1. Pts who have first and only admission
      2. AMA Patient from prior admission
    3. Patient is transferred to a different hospital, the admission
      for that hospital ends and the patient becomes a new admission
      to the second hospital (except if reason is lab test and stay in
      the second hospital <1 day bec bed is usually put on hold on the first hospital)
    4. Pts with previous encounters and admitted from ER, Home,
        Outside City or Province or previously discharged to Home,
      Outside City or Province
      5. Pts with previous encounters and admitted from unit
        within the hospital but the prior encounter was discharged to Home,
        Outside City or Province
    6. Pt discharge to or admit from  OR/ RR but more than 7 days
    7. Pt discharge to Ward or then admit from  OR/ RR but more than 30 days
    8. Pt discharge to Ward or then admit from  Ward but var1 is not same as previous var2
    9. None of the above but has gap > 90 days then consider new admission
Critical Care is different and much simple.  Allan Garland prescribed it based on
the paper he did. Link one or more ICU whether same or diff hospitals.
      Sept 7, 2012 Dr Allan Garland definition if linked ICU
      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. I added 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
