*Rule#3: This is really an observation rather than a "rule".  We recognize and accept that the above rules and examples can lead to a single diagnostic event seeming to occur multiple times, while in fact it only occurred once. In Example2, since the pneumonia is listed as an [[Admit Diagnosis]] for records A and B and C, it won't be possible to distinguish whether these were a single, ongoing pneumonia versus an original pneumonia plus subsequent separate pneumonia events.  The underlying reason for this is the artificial nature of how we collect data -- i.e. when a person goes A-->B-->C this is a single hospital episode but we code it as 3 different records.
