Facilities Analyze page - What is "Other?"

This article answers the question, "What is in the category, 'Other' in the following tables:

Discharge Events by Setting		Outcomes by setting

For both tables, we determine the "destination" for each row based on the code indicated in Box 17 - Patient Status, from form UB-04 (CMS 1450).

Although possible codes for this field could be 0-99, only 17 are defined - the rest are "reserved for national assignment." We identify the six post-acute care settings using the codes in the table below. ALL other codes are aggregated into the category, "Other." Because the statuses that generate this aggregated count provide no insight into the selected facility or post acute care provided, we do not create a metric for those patients who were instructed who received the matching care or those who entered the care setting within 30 days of discharge. Those two columns will always have a "-" for the "Other" row. It is important to note that some of these "other" statuses have no meaningful post-acute referent.
