The “within 14 days of initial hospital encounter” – we have a patient that was admitted to an outside hospital on 8/8 (date of injury as well) and remained there until 8/27 when they were transferred to us. Since this patient was admitted at the initial facility within the 14 days of injury, this would qualify to be picked up as PTOS, correct?
That is correct! The patient meets the criteria because they were injured within 14 days of the initial hospital encounter.
