| PatientsCount | numeric | The total number of continuous inpatient stays. A continuous inpatient stay is an unbroken period of time that a patient spends as an inpatient. However, a patient may change consultant, significant facility, specialty, and/or hospital during a continuous inpatient stay. As a result, information used to assign a stay to the Learning Disability specialty has to be taken from a single episode within the stay. In this report, the specialty and the health board of treatment are taken from the last episode in the stay. Moreover, stays are assigned to financial years based on the date of discharge of the last episode in the stay. |
