A code depicting the acuity (complexity of patient care, resource intensiveness of the patient care) of a patient's medical condition upon arrival.
Returns: the attribute value
The source of the referral for a patient encounter.
Returns: the attribute value
A code depicting the disposition of the patient at the time of discharge (e.g., discharged to home, expired, against medical advice, etc.). While the encounter is still "active" (the encounter doesn't have an end date yet) this attribute should be interpreted as the expected discharge disposition. When the encounter is "completed" this field contains the actual discharge disposition.
Returns: the attribute value
Identifies the total quantity of time when the subject is expected to be or was resident at a facility as part of an encounter.
Discussion: The actual days quantity cannot be simply calculated from the admission and discharge dates because of possible leaves of absence.
Returns: the attribute value
An indication that pre-admission tests are required for this patient encounter.
Returns: the attribute value
A code indicating the type of special arrangements provided for a patient encounter (e.g., wheelchair, stretcher, interpreter, attendant, seeing eye dog). For encounters in intention moods, this information can be used to identify special arrangements that will need to be made for the incoming patient. This is not related to the AccommodationEvent.
Returns: the attribute value
A code identifying special courtesies extended to the patient. For example, no courtesies, extended courtesies, professional courtesy, VIP courtesies.

A code depicting the acuity (complexity of patient care, resource intensiveness of the patient care) of a patient's medical condition upon arrival.
