Discharge disposition has, alas, been coded by at least two different standards: UB82 and UHDDS. We try to support both but it has been years since we say UHDDS codes so we are not sure how much longer we will support them.
Here is the mapping we usually use:
"0 - Unknown"
"1 - Home"
"2 - Other Hosp"
"3 - SNF"
"4 - ICF"
"5 - Other Inst"
"6 - Home Care"
"7 - AMA"
"20- Expired"
As bit-bashers, we are happy with this rather simple listing. If you want to know more, check out these links:
