Specification:

General information on the inter-field editing of date and date flag fields:

The purpose of this inter-field edit is to verify that a date field and the corresponding date flag field are in agreement. A blank flag field indicates that the date was either filled in or intentionally not collected. Otherwise the date flag should include a 2-digit code indicating the reason the date field is blank.

Date of Inpt Adm and Date of Inpt Adm Flag may both be blank, indicating the date was intentionally not collected. However, if either field is populated, they must be in agreement.

  1. If both fields are blank, the edit is skipped.

  2. If Date of Inpt Adm is populated,then Date of Inpt Adm Flag must be blank.

  3. If Date of Inpt Adm is blank and Date of Inpt Adm Flag is not blank, then Date of Inpt Adm Flag must = 10 (unknown if patient was an inpatient), 11 (the patient was never a patient at the reporting facility), or 12 (the patient was an inpatient but the date is unknown).
