'0' FOR NO;
LAST EDITED: JAN 15, 1991
HELP-PROMPT: Enter Y(es) if duplicate fall outs are allowed within a time frame.
DESCRIPTION: Answering Y(es) to this question allows an event to fall out multiple times for the same patient
within a given time frame. Answering N(o) will allow the event to fall out only once per time
frame.
For example, a monitor is set up to capture all admissions over a monthly time frame. Assume a
patient is admitted twice in the same month. Answering 'NO' to this question will capture only the
patient's first admission. Answering 'YES' will capture both.
743,64 CONDITION FOR DATE OF EVENT 1;15 NUMBER

LAST EDITED: JAN 28, 1992
HELP-PROMPT: Enter the condition number that should be used to capture the event date.
DESCRIPTION: This field controls which of the conditions will provide the date that will be used as the event
date for the fall out. You will usually want to pick the condition whose date most uniquely
defines the event you are monitoring. For example, if you were monitoring all female (Condition
#1: SEX) admissions (Condition #2: MAS MOVEMENT TYPE) you would pick condition number two as the
condition to supply the event date.
