* Following this table will lead to an '''undefined result''' if the patient AT = Medical and Chronic <> None; that makes me think this is not how this is really implemented in TMSX. How is it? Ttenbergen 16:19, 2014 January 2 (CST)
**In TMSX, if Admit type is not Elective Surgery (e.g. Medical or Emergency) and Chronic is Yes, points=5. If Admit type is Elective Surgery (e.g. Not Medical or not Emergency) and Chronic is Yes, points=2. If Admit type is not or is Elective Surgery and Chronic is No, point=0.
