General Notes

DISPUB92 indicates the disposition of the patient at discharge and uses the same coding as the patient status data element on the UB-92 claim form. DISPUB92 has more detailed categories for transfers and Home Health Care than the HCUP data element DISPUniform. Some states do not provide enough detail in the coding of the discharge status to accurately code DISPUB92. For these states, the data element DISPUB92 is not available. DISPUniform is available for all states. DISP_X retains the disposition of patient as provided by the data source. HCUP excludes records that contain the UB-92 discharge disposition of "Still a patient" (value 30) or "Admitted as an inpatient to this hospital" (value 09) with the following exception. Prior to 2005 data, records with the discharge disposition of "Admitted as an inpatient to this hospital" (value 09) were retained in the HCUP SASD and SEDD.
