Utah This data element was provided by Utah for ambulatory surgery (AS) records and not supplied for the emergency department (ED) records. However, when AS records with evidence of ED services were placed in the SEDD during HCUP processing, this data element was also added to the SEDD. Therefore, very few records in the SEDD will contain values for this data element. |
