* what if they spend time in an ED in between as part of re-admission, possibly pushing past the 7 day range? Due to the very long ER delays for LAU I think we would want to include those. [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 00:06, 12 March 2025 (CDT

** These would be included because I am using the ADT/EPR readmits and the admit time reflects first time of presentation and an ensuing admission [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 12:13, 10 April 2025 (CDT))

*** to be perfectly clear: if someone is discharged from LAU on Jan 1, and then presents to an ED at GRA, where they decide the person should go to LAU, but the patient is not transferred and made an inpatient again at an LAU for another 3 days (pushing their new admission past the 10 day window), would you tag them as a re-admission?

*Yes, I believe it would because in EPR for patient visits, the patient you describe would show them as an inpatient, beginning Jan 7, even though by our definition they are not an inpt til the LAU folks accept them. I would not be able to decipher the actual first service time without having the chart or running an EPR report. [[User:Lkaita|Lisa Kaita]] 12:49, 10 April 2025 (CDT)}}
