Collection and usage attributes

Computation description:Help on this term

Determine the number of patients that are postponed due to no beds by the hospital pre-admission.

Include only those patients identified as postponed 'Pre-Admission'.  This can be determined by looking for a matching inpatient episode.  If no inpatient episode is found the postponement occurred pre-admission.  Otherwise if there is a matching inpatient episode then this is evidence the patient was admitted and the postponement occurred "Post-Admission".
