Definition
A separation is the process by which an admitted patient completes an episode of care. A separation may be formal or statistical.
Formal separation is the administrative process by which a hospital records the completion of treatment and/or care and/or accommodation of an admitted patient. This generally occurs when a patient is discharged, is transferred to another institution, absconds, or dies whilst in care.
Statistical separation on episode type change is the administrative process by which a hospital records the completion of each episode of care occurring within a single hospital stay.
