The Encounter number (Enc in <which of tmsx's files?>) is the count of Multiple Encounters of the same patient to our database.
The Statistician can do it a number of ways depending on type of database request. readmits (encounters) to the ICU and/or medicine program or to a specific program in region or to any hospital in region.
- In the past encounter number was generated by TMSX program utilty, but now only by the statistician uses SAS program.
- Example of one patient:
- 1. From Home to HSC transf to CON, transf back to HSC discharged home:
- HSC enc 1
- CON enc 1
- HSC enc 2
- this is the first encounter to hospital system in city.
- 2. same patient
- From home to HSC transf to VIC transf to CON transf back to HSC discharged home
- HSC enc 1
- VIC enc 1
- CON enc 2
- HSC enc 3
- this is the second encounter to hospital system in city.
