STATE_OS is used to identify observation stay (OS) records. A value of 1 indicates that the statewide data source has designated the record as OS. A value of 0 marks records that are not identified as OS by the data source. A missing value implies that the state does not identify OS records. |

Vermont For 2006-2010 data, Vermont no longer supplies a state indicator of Observation services. All records have been assigned missing (.) values. Starting in 2011, Vermont supplied a state indicator for Observation services which we used to assign a STATE_OS value of 1. |
