Just hopefully a quick question to the group. How are everyone's encounter_num field being defined(or filled in) in the observation fact table? From my understanding, those that have EPIC this is already sort of defined in the source data (I think), correct? At Marshfield, unfortunately we don't have anything like that in our source data. In the past, we have created encounter numbers for our VDW as part of the HMORN, and we have based it off of other information that we have such as MHN, date, provider, facility, etc. I'm just curious how this is defined for EPIC sites and for non-EPIC sites.
Also, related to my question above, regarding the annotated data dictionary that we need to fill out - in particular the encounter type (which is part of the encounter, diagnosis, and procedure content areas). Are other sites currently loading these encounter types(AV, ED, IP, etc.) into i2b2? If so, what fields are they being stored in? Any info would be greatly appreciated here at Marshfield.
