*** Yes, it will be a problem in the linking of admissions across hospitals for those who have more than one admission. After appending, we will know eventually the unit where the patient was transferred when doing the linking and therefore we want the unit to be specified at the entry level than do the changes later. In addition, for the Critical Care, the Directors are monitoring the inter and intra facility transfers in the region so we need to be specific (no unknowns). Also for Critical Care, the specific location the patient went within the region is needed to determine if the patient's next admission is a readmission or not.

****Of course we want the data if available, but would we rather have a guess or have the collector spend time pursuing. And, what I meant was, has it been a problem for collectors to not have the "unknown" option in town, i.e. is there ever a legitimate reason to loose track?

*** All my out-of-town patients who are directed straight from those ER's (or Nursing Stations) come through our ER unless they go directly to the OR. If I show all of these as HSC ER admissions, the other info will be lost. Is this what you want? Also, they are bringing in patients from the field by direct helicopter to the airport. I am only able to code these as admit from HSC ER, is that what you want?
