Article summary

Object Description

One record per SNF encounter; this object executes the logic to generate the final encounter-level properties based on the full set of documents related to the encounter collected in the aggregator object. A SNF encounter is a continuous stay at a skilled nursing facility, involving at least some time where the patient is inpatient status (i.e., not residential), but perhaps extending beyond inpatient status while the patient is still staying within the facility.

Published Fields

  • Data Model Keys

    • Encounter ID -- The internal database identifier (used, e.g., for joins and primary keys) for the encounter. (See also [URSA-CORE] Encounter)
    • Patient ID -- The internal database identifier (used, e.g., for joins and primary keys) for the patient. This value is typically mastered, i.e., all records for the same patient, regardless of the source data system from which that record originated, should have the same Patient ID value. (Note that while the mastered Patient ID value might resemble a local identifier used in one of the upstream data sources, this does not indicate any special priority of that source system in determining the characteristics of the patient.)
