Med Var 1 is 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, and you know the ward they came from, please code, otherwise leave Var 1 blank.

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

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

If the specific ward you are admitting from is not available on this list use "OTH". Please also note down the ward that was missing on this page.

  • as mentioned in Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward entering wards for another hospital is not possible at this time. Do we want it to be possible? Ttenbergen 14:39, 2 November 2010 (CDT)
    • Yes make it possible but only if it is in the list, otherwise choose 'Other' JMojica 16:09, 13 October 2011 (CDT)
    • Does this mean that OTH (instead of blank) is only used when coming from or going to ANOTHER hospital but when on SAME hospital, OTH will not be an option, correct? JMojica 09:52, 2014 February 24 (CST)
