Relationship between admitted patient stay and episode of care
An admitted patient stay may contain one, or more than one, episode of admitted patient care.
Where an admitted patient stay contains more than one episode of admitted care it typically involves a care type change. That is, a statistical separation and a statistical admission may include a new care type to the previous episode of care.
Reporting diagnoses and the admitted patient stay
The Australian Coding Standards (ACS) include guidelines for reporting diagnoses that are relevant for an episode of admitted patient care. Certain ACS allow the reporting of diagnoses that are documented across the admitted patient stay.
