Notes:
DSCN 07/2000 implemented a change to replace the composite data items WARD TYPE AT PSYCHIATRIC CENSUS DATE and WARD TYPE AT START OF EPISODE within CDS by their constituent components. For CDS message purposes therefore the constituent component WARD DAY PERIOD AVAILABILITY is required to be separately recorded.

The value for the number of days open only during the day is as recorded by attribute WARD DAY PERIOD AVAILABILITY, but with the addition of HOME LEAVE:

0-7
9	Home Leave

 

This data element is also known by these names:

Context	Alias
plural	WARD DAY PERIOD AVAILABILITIES
