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.

Reclassify all selected claims as inpatient if they fall within the admission and discharge dates of an inpatient stay.
Assess claim number for unique record merging.
For each record in INFILE matching an inpatient day date, recode encounter type as inpatient.

Program outputs

&OUTFILE. (Dataset with reclassified claims.)

Usage

%ms_envelope(INFILE=worktemp.meds,
             ENCOUNTERINFILE=indata.&ENCTABLE.,
             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.
