* To decide if something is a re-admission, follow the criteria in [[Readmission to MedWard]]
* For the purpose of this project we will '''not''' use the same criteria as [[Readmission to MedWard]]; instead we will use
** a patient who left the hospital system as defined in [[Discharged to community]] between admissions
** re-admission within 7 days as defined by time [[dispo dttm]] (even if not collected) of last unit (ie hospital dispo) on earlier admission and admission at the next in-patient location (which may be this LAU)
