Diagnosis codes on extended care separations included in the discharge abstract data : a summary report McGrail, Kimberlyn M.

Abstract

The purpose of this analysis was to provide a description of the ICD9 codes recorded on hospital separations abstracts for individuals receiving extended care services. Of interest was: • the distribution of the number of diagnoses recorded, from 1 to 16; • the distribution of the diagnoses recorded, at the 3-digit level, by type of diagnosis; • for extended care separations that are the result of death, the match between hospital and Vital Statistics diagnoses. A match will be determined both comparing only the ‘most responsible diagnosis’ to the Vital Statistics diagnosis, and any diagnosis to Vital Statistics diagnosis.
