Med Var 2 - Discharge-to Ward

Med Var 2 is used track the specific ward a patient was discharged to within the same center.

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

Possible values are listed in the Var 2 dropdown box in the CCMDB.mdb, which is driven by the S varOptions table.

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