DEFINITION:
Dates of short term interruptions (3 days or more) during system inpatient rehabilitation phase only. Patient is off rehabilitation 30 days or less each interruption. If more than 30 days then patient is discharged and last interruption date is date of discharge, and code return.
CODE:
Interruption date and return date: MM/DD/YYYY
08/08/8888 Not applicable
09/09/9999 Unknown
NOTE:
System re-entry after 30 days is considered a rehospitalization during the follow up year and should be coded in V273 on Form II.
Computer uses interruption data to calculate Net Length of Stay, via the formula below: Net LOS = (Disch date - Adm date) - Days off rehab service.
If more than two short term interruptions, code the two longest.
If discharged from acute hospital to a System alternative care facility, add days in that facility to either time in acute care or time in rehab, whichever is more appropriate.
EXAMPLE:
Patient had two rehabilitation interruptions: (July 14 to August 1, 1988) and (August 10 to August 22, 1988).
1st interruption
Interruption date: 07/14/1988
Return date: 08/01/1988
2nd Interruption
Interruption date: 08/10/1988
Return date: 08/22/1988
