Collection and Usage Attributes
Same-day patients may either be intended to be discharged on the same day, or intended overnight-stay patients who left of their own accord, died, or were transferred on their day in the hospital. Treatment provided to an intended same-day patient, who is subsequently classified as an overnight-stay patient, should be regarded as part of the overnight episode of admitted patient care. Non-admitted (emergency/outpatient) services provided to a patient, who is subsequently classified as an admitted patient shall be regarded as part of the episode of admitted patient care. Any occasion of service should be recorded and identified as part of the admitted patient's episode of care. Data on same-day patients are derived by a review of admission and separation dates. The data excludes patients who were to be discharged on the same day but were subsequently required to stay in hospital for one night or more.
