Description
This data item records whether there was an inpatient admission for the most definitive therapy, or in the absence of therapy, for diagnostic evaluation. This data item was first available in Volume II Version 12 (effective January 2010).
Rationale
Before Version 12 (through 2009 diagnosis), date fields included information in addition to dates. This data item incorporates the non-date meanings for the Date of Inpt Adm [590] and Date of Inpt Disch [600] in order to retain the non-date information with the transition to interoperable dates.
Codes

Comment: This is part of the initiative of the transformation from the old NAACCR date standards to interoperable dates.
