Detailed Description

This macro uses data from the SDD to recode non-inpatient encounters to inpatient if they were determined to have occurred during an inpatient stay.

Extract IP encounters (occuring after &mindate. when specified)
Remove encounter ids to delete if required
Collapse IP encounters into IP episodes to reduce number of observations involved in joining datasets.
For each record in INFILE within an inpatient stay, recode encounter type as inpatient if not already coded as such.

Program inputs

&ENCOUNTERINFILE. (Dataset with encounter data.)
&INFILE. (Dataset with diagnosis/procedure claims data.)

Program outputs

&OUTFILE. (Dataset with reclassified claims.)

Usage

%ms_envelope(INFILE=worktemp.meds,
             ENCOUNTERINFILE=indata.&ENCTABLE.,
             MINDATE=&studystartdate,
             OUTFILE=worktemp.meds);

Parameters

[in]	INFILE	Name of SAS dataset with diagnosis and/or procedure claims data.
[in]	ENCOUNTERINFILE	Name of SAS dataset with encounter data.
[in]	MINDATE	Extract all claims occuring on or after this date.
[out]	OUTFILE	Name of output file with reclassified claims.

SAS Macros Dependencies

ms_delencounterids.sas

Note: This operation is done without using the ENCOUNTERID variable, as this variable can be inconsistent across data partner datasets.
