Sharon, depending on the fields you need on your report, you could try reporting from ABS.PAT which only lists one record per account #.  This works for us (in C/S 5.5).  Good Luck!

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Adm Events

 

I have a report written in ADM.PAT using the detail segment of events. The registration index.

 

It shows the number of admits for a location by date and by shift using the event.codes of ENADMIN and ENADMOB.

 

I have discovered that how we handle observation patients to inpt has impact the accuracy of this report.

 

If an observation patient is changed to an inpt, the effective date and time is the date/time that the order is received to change their status.  This actually creates a 2nd admission date.

 

On this report, this type of patient shows on their original date of admission AND on the date they were changed to an inpatient.  We want to patient to only be counted on the original date of admission.

 

Problem seemed easy to solve.  Simply suppress those patients with the event.code of OBSVTOIN.

 

In trying to do this, what I have discovered is that you don’t even see that event.code in the registration index.  When I print the all event.codes for the patient for a date, that event.code is not attached.

 

I have found that you can only seem to find that event.code in the adm.pat.exception.index.

 

I am thinking that I have to do something via a fragment to exclude and was hoping someone already had one that would do something similar.

 

Would also appreciate any help.

 

Thanks
