A continuous stay for a patient per site is having the same [[Visit Admit DtTm]] for the multiple encounters.  
{{DJ | Not sure where this is used, but using [[Visit Admit DtTm]] is likely cleaner. You back-populated that for old records, so that definition would work even for old records. }}
 
A pair of records for the same patient is a continuous stay if:
* [[Dispo DtTm]] 1 and admit2 are 5 or fewer  minutes  apart in the same hospital
{{Discuss | who = Julie |
* This will likely have changed when we eliminated the 5 minute rule for local transfers; Julie, could you confirm that this was also changed wherever it has an impact?
* Does this use [[Arrive DtTm]] or [[Accept DtTm]] in the new schema?
}}
* [[Dispo DtTm]] 1 and admit2 are between 30[[Transfer time rule| *]] minutes and 48 hrs apart in different hospitals
{{Discuss | who = Julie |
* Does this use [[Arrive DtTm]] or [[Accept DtTm]] in the new schema?
}}
* the combination of [[Dispo field]] field in the first the [[Service/Location field]] in the second match
* the [[Previous Location field]] in the second and the [[Service/Location field]] in the first match
* the first admission doesn't end with [[Dispo field]] = AMA
{{Discuss | who = Julie |
* That last line seems to be obvious in new schema from the other definitions... is AMA still at all relevant here or can it be taken out?
}}
 
=== Continuous encounter with intermission at non-collected ward ===
If all of
* [[Dispo field]] and [[Previous Location field]] are both <local hospital>
* [[Dispo field]] on the first record is the same as  [[Previous Location field]] on the second
* the two fields are not a collected ward
then this is likely a continuous stay.
 
=== Continuous encounter with intermission in OR ===
For ICU patient transferring to another ICU area Or ICU patient who went to OR and/or comes from OR or Recovery to an ICU  between same or different hospital, the max time to consider a continuous link is <= 2days (48 hours). If more than 2 days, the next ICU admission is considered as new admission and not a transfer.
{{Discuss | who = Julie |
* would it make sense to take out the ICU requirement for this? The same might be rarer for Medicine patients but would still be true. I will implement [[Encounter processing]] like that for now unless I hear otherwise. Ttenbergen 12:06, 2015 January 22 (CST)
