[SO/URSA-CORE] Episodes of Any Hospice in Last 12 Months

Object Description

One record per episode in which the patient had documentation of any hospice care or status at any time in the prior 12 months. Note that patients may have evidence of hospice at some point in the prior 12 months but not currently be in hospice status; so this object should not be used to identify periods of hospice status.

  • Episode ID
  • 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.)
