== Continuous ~~Hospital Stay - Medicine~~ ==

== Continuous stay at one hospital ==

~~The~~ [[~~statistician~~]] ~~uses data from~~ [[Admit From & Discharged To]], [[Med Var 1 - Admit-from ~~Ward~~]] and [[~~Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward~~]] to

As per [[Transfer time rule]] a stay at one hospital is considered continuous if the difference between discharge dttm on one ward/unit and admit dttm at the next is '''at least 5 minutes'''.

=== Identification ===

A pair of records for the same patient is a continuous stay if:

* consider the record with the earlier admit dttm as the "first" and the other the "second"

* the combination of [[Admit From & Discharged To|discharge-to]] and [[Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward]] field in the first the [[location field]] in the second match

* the [[Admit From & Discharged To|admit-from field]] in the second and the [[location field]] in the first match

* the discharge dttm in the first is between <what> and <what> minutes

* link profiles from one ward to another when both wards are within the database program

** {{discussion}} what do you mean "when both wards are within the database program" - would we have data if they were not?Ttenbergen 18:07, 2012 November 22 (EST)

* detect a likely continuous stay when a pt is discharged from one of our wards to a non-collected ward and then re-admitted to one of our wards from the same non-collected ward.

* is there a counterpart on the ICU ~~side Ttenbergen 12:57, 2014 January 16 (CST) {{discussion}}~~
