Reference: | Change Request 407 |
Version No: | 1.2 |
Subject: | Source of Admission |
Type of Change: | Change to Source of Admission and Discharge Destination codes |
Effective Date: | 1 March 2004 |
Reason for Change: | Clarification of the Source of Admission for patients arriving at the Accident and Emergency Department and admitted to the same hospital provider. |
A recent query has identified the need for clarification of this issue and it was felt that 'other' needed to be re-instated. Source of Admission is meant to define where the patient has come from prior to the current provider. If a patient arrives at the Accident and Emergency Department, from home, and is admitted to the same hospital provider the Source of Admission would be '19 - Usual place of residence...' and not '51- NHS hospital provider - ward for general patients or the younger physically disabled or A&E department'.
The same codes apply to Discharge Destination and have been altered accordingly.Summary of changes:
