Var 1 was used track the specific ward a patient was admitted from within the same center. If a patient is admitted from a ward outside your hospital, leave Var 1 blank.

Possible values are listed in the dropdown box in the CCMDB.mdb, which is driven by the S varOptions table.

If the specific ward you are admitting from is not available on this list use "OTH".

The statistician used to use this variable to detect patients with a continuous hospital stay.

OTH entry

OTH mean - other ward in your OWN hospital that is not on your dropped down list for Var 1 or 2.

  • if you must list OTH, please list here, what ward you are missing within your own hospital and Tina can add it to the list.

Wards where we don't collect

The Var1/2 data is collected to allow us to match ward admissions into a continuous stay record, where the "to" and "from" fields should match the location fields in the counterpart records.

CCMDB Data Integrity Checks
