Notes for Abstraction:Medical record documentation only should be used to collect this data element.

This information is abstracted once for each day on which an event (Event Type) occurs during the patient’s hospitalization. A patient may have multiple events during the hospitalization.

When an event (Event Type) begins and ends on different dates (crosses midnight) this is considered 2 separate events; therefore, both dates must be documented in order to determine the total amount of time associated with each Event Date. If one of the event dates is missing, the event will be rejected.
