Inconsistent values within hospitalization

We found some cases where, during the same hospitalization, there are different values for this. For example, the first ward admission may have "house" and the immediate next ICU admission may have "PCH". I think there is no scenario where that makes sense. If you can think of one, tell me. For existing data like this, how would we best treat it heuristically. Would the first record be more likely to be right because the chart is still cleaner and easier to follow? Or would a later record be more likely to be correct since more of the patient's story would have emerged? Thoughts?

We have not come across this before because Julie does this one way, and when Tina set up a different way, the results were different.

Once this is settled we may need to add a Pagasa cross check for this.

Data Use

Some of the concepts were broken down further, such as homeless or institutionalized status, since these questions keep coming up.

Start times

See infobox for med. For the Critical Care program this concept did not get collected prior to the 2016 Time and Place changes.

• 2022-12-29 - added option "Community Facility with support" to replace "Assisted Living" and "Supportive Housing" for patients with Dispo DtTm > 2023-01-01
