DISP indicates the disposition of the patient at discharge (routine, transfer to another hospital, died, etc.). Patients that died outside of the hospital are coded as died (DISP =20). The distinction between discharged to a skilled nursing facility (DISP = 3) and intermediate care facility (DISP = 4) may be defined differently for different data sources. |
