The date in R4 would be the date that the resident left the facility, not the
admission date. The reference is on page 2-23 of the RAI manual next to last
paragraph from the bottom of the page. "The discharge date entered at R4 would be the
date that the resident actually left the facility, not the date he was admitted to the
hospital."

Subject: Discharge date on tracking form
We have some patients who go to the ER before midnight and are there
past midnight before they are admitted to a hospital bed. Is the
discharge date the day they leave the facility or the date they are
admitted to the hospital bed? Thank You!
