This article is about Multiple Encounter patients who have not been discharged in between encounters.
Definition
A pair of records for the same patient is a continuous stay if:
- discharge1 and admit2 are 5* minutes - x Template:Discussion minutes apart in the same hospital
- discharge1 and admit2 are 30* minutes - 48 hrs apart in different hospitals
- the combination of discharge-to and Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward field in the first the location field in the second match
- the admit-from field in the second and the location field in the first match
Continuous encounter with intermission at non-collected ward
If all of
- Discharge to and Admit from are both <local hospital>
- Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward on the first record is the same as Var 1 - Admit-from Ward on the second
- the two vars are not a collected ward
then this is likely a continuous stay.
Continuous encounter with intermission in OR
For ICU patient transferring to another ICU area Or ICU patient who went to OR and/or comes from OR or Recovery to an ICU between same or different hospital, the max time to consider a continuous link is <= 2days (48 hours). If more than 2 days, the next ICU admission is considered as new admission and not a transfer. Template:Discussion
- would it make sense to take out the ICU requirement for this? The same might be rarer for Medicine patients but would still be true. I will implement Encounter processing like that for now unless I hear otherwise. Ttenbergen 12:06, 2015 January 22 (CST)
