SPStillInHospPrevRnd

SP was still in a hospital at the time of the previous round
interview =
There is an EVNT where EVNT.EVNTDFLG^=1/Yes and
EVNT.EVNTTYPE='IP' and
EVNT.IPSTATUS=1/StillInHospital.

ExitNotSkip

If SP is in the Exit Sample and previous round interview
not skipped =
MRES.INTTYPE=8/ExitInterviewHadPrev on MRES
where MRES.MRESRND = current round.

DESIGN NOTES
If SP is in the exit sample and previous round interview was not skipped,
MRES.INTTYPE=8/ExitInterviewHadPrev, we are only interested in
collecting data for an on-going IP stay from the previous round, if it exists.
If the SP had an on-going IP visit from the previous round (there is an IP
event where EVNT.IPStatus=1/StillInHospital), BOX IP1 is routed to IPS1
to probe for the end date. If the on-going IP stay does not exist, we do not
probe for new IP visits. Instead, BOX IP1 is routed to the end of IP.

TECHNICAL NOTES

DESIGN NOTES
IPS1 is asked for an existing Inpatient Stay where the SP was reported as
"still in the hospital" at the time of the previous round interview. IPS1
determines if the SP is still in the hospital or has been discharged at the
time of the current round interview. There can only be one "on-going" IP
stay from the previous round. If the SP is still in the hospital at the time of
the current round interview, we do not probe for additional IP stays in the
current round.

( IPQ1017 )	

CREATE EVENT FOR FIRST/NEXT ER VISIT ADDED WHERE SP WAS
ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL .
GO TO IP1A - EVENDMM ( IPQ1018 ).

ASSIGNMENTS
Current round Emergency Room visits that result in the SP being admitted to a hospital

should have a new current round IP event generated for the ER provider.

IP Event details will be collected on EVNT:

EVNT key = EVNT.EVNTBASE + EVNT.EVNTNUM.

EVNT.EVNTNUM = Number of event generated at BOX IP1AA.

BASE.LASTEVNT holds the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM prior to fielding cases. Not all

EVNT records are fielded. The first time an EVNT record is generated in the field,

BASE.LASTEVNT should be >= to the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM fielded. The new

EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT + 001. Each time an

EVNT record is generated in the field, BASE.LASTEVNT will be updated to match the

highest EVNT.EVNTNUM in the field. Therefore, each time an EVNT record is generated in

the field, the new EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT +

001. See detailed instructions below.
Data collected for Emergency Room visit added in ER section should be copied to new
Inpatient stay event. See detailed instructions below.
LASTEVNT	

Once new EVNT record is generated, set
BASE.LASTEVNT = new EVNT.EVNTNUM.

EVNTNUM	

Set new EVNT.EVNTNUM = BASE.LASTEVNT +
001. This assumes that BASE.LASTEVNT is
incremented each time an EVNT record is generated
in the field.

EVNTRNDC	

EVNT.EVNTRNDC = current round.

EVNTTYPE	

EVNT.EVNTTYPE = 'IP'.

STEVTYPE	

EVNT.STEVTYPE=5/IP.

EVNTPROV	

EVNT.EVNTPROV = EVNT.EVNTPROV from
Emergency Room event added at ER4 that is being
asked about.

HMOREFER	

EVNT.HMOREFER=EVNT.HMOREFER from
Emergency Room event added at ER4 that is being
asked about.

NOGOHMO	

EVNT.NOGOHMO=EVNT.NOGOHMO from

BACKGROUND VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS
PROVIDER INSTRUCTIONS:

Roster details will be collected on PROV:

PROV key = PROV.PROVBASE + PROV.PROVNUM

PROV.PROVNUM = Number of Provider selected at IP2.

If Provider added at Provider Roster, see PROVIDER ROSTER POP-UP specifications for

pop-up window programming instructions.

Variables populated in Provider Roster Pop-Up Window:

PROV.PROVNUM
PROV.PROVRNDC
PROV.PROVNAME

Provider Number
Round number
Hospital name (Also known as Provider name)

If Provider added, set provider type as instructed below.
EVENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Current round IP visits are stored on EVNT. An EVNT is generated once the Provider is

selected at IP2:

EVNT key = EVNT.EVNTBASE + EVNT.EVNTNUM

EVNT.EVNTNUM = Number of event generated at IP2.

BASE.LASTEVNT holds the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM prior to fielding cases. Not all

EVNT records are fielded. The first time an EVNT record is generated in the field,

BASE.LASTEVNT should be >= to the highest EVNT.EVNTNUM fielded. The new

EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT + 001. Each time an

EVNT record is generated in the field, BASE.LASTEVNT will be updated to match the

highest EVNT.EVNTNUM in the field. Therefore, each time an EVNT record is generated in

IP2
the field, the new EVNT.EVNTNUM should be calculated based on BASE.LASTEVNT +
001. See detailed instructions below.
Set Event Provider as the Provider selected at IP2. Set additional EVNT variables as
instructed below:
EVNTNUM	

Set new EVNT.EVNTNUM = BASE.LASTEVNT +
001. This assumes that BASE.LASTEVNT is
incremented each time an EVNT record is generated
in the field.

EVNTRNDC	

EVNT.EVNTRNDC = current round.

EVNTTYPE	

EVNT.EVNTTYPE = 'IP'.

STEVTYPE	

EVNT.STEVTYPE = 5/IP.

EVNTPROV	

EVNT.EVNTPROV = PROV.PROVNUM of provider
selected at IP2.

PROVTYPE	

If Provider added at IP2, set
PROV.PROVTYPE=3/InPatientHospital.

LASTEVNT	

Once new EVNT record is generated, set
BASE.LASTEVNT = new EVNT.EVNTNUM.

DESIGN NOTES
If the SP belongs to a managed care plan (HMO), we ask each provider
selected/added if the provider is associated with an HMO. This question,
which is asked throughout utilization and cost series, is only asked once
in the study for each provider. The response is never updated. (this
design may change in the future).
If the SP belongs to an HMO, and we have not asked this question for this
provider, HMOASSOC=empty, BOX IP2AA is routed to IP3A ­
HMOASSOC. If we have already asked this question about this provider,
and the provider responded to HMOASSOC=No, DK or RF, BOX IP2AA
is routed to IP3B, skipping IP3A, to determine if the SP was referred to
this provider by their HMO.
If SP does not belong to an HMO or this provider already reported being
associated with the HMO, BOX IP2AA routes directly to IP4, collects
admission and discharge dates, skipping IP3A and IP3B.

It would be helpful if I could look at any medicine bottle(s),
container(s), or bag(s) that you have so that I can spell the medicine
name correctly and enter the strength of the medicine. [Also, please
take out [your/(SP's)] (MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN
NAME) medicine statements, which should have that same
information on them.]

Question Text:

[IF RESPONDENT HAS BOTTLE, ASK:] I’ll need that same
information for all of the medicines [you/(SP)] obtained since the last
interview, if you’d like to get those bottles, too.

PMRO key = PMRO.PMROBASE + PMRO.PMROEVNT + PMRO.PMRORND.
Create PMRO where PMRO.PMROEVNT = EVNT.EVNTNUM for prescription medicine
selected and PMRO.PMRORND = current round. Set additional PMRO variable as
instructed below.
All prescription medicines selected at IP15 should be linked to the Inpatient stay being
asked about. Prescription medicine events are linked to other events on XMED.
XMED key = XMED.XMEDBASE + XMED.XMEDEVNT + XMED.XMEDBAS2 +
XMED.XMEDEVT2.
For each medicine selected at IP15, create an XMED where XMEDEVNT =
EVNT.EVNTNUM of Inpatient stay visit being asked about and XMEDEVT2 =
EVNT.EVNTNUM of Prescription Medicine selected at IP15. XMEDBASE and
XMEDBAS2 both equal the Cheshire BASE.BASEID. Set additional XMED variables as
specified below.
Set the following PMRO and XMED variables for each prescription medicine selected at
IP15:
PMROEVNT	

PMRO.PMROEVNT = EVNT.EVNTNUM of
prescription medicine selected at IP15.

PMRORND	

PMRO.PMRORND = current round.

PMROTYPE	

PMRO.PMROTYPE='PM'.

XMEDEVNT	

XMED.XMEDEVNT=EVNT.EVNTNUM of Inpatient

XMEDEVT2	

XMED.XMEDEVT2=EVNT.EVNTNUM of prescription
medicine selected at IP15.

XMEDRNDC	

XMED.XMEDRNDC = current round.
