Method of admission to hospital identifies how a patient was admitted, e.g. an elective admission from a waiting list or an emergency admission, etc.
In order to conduct analyses using this information, researchers must include this data-field in their application, however access will be given in-situ rather than as a download.
Note that the original information was obtained from a variety of external sources, some of which used overlapping and contradictory coding schemes. The values in this field can therefore only be interpreted when the source of each item is known (see Field 41252) using the source-specific codings Data-Coding 202, Data-Coding 241, Data-Coding 242 and Data-Coding 252. It is recommended that the re-coded Field 41236 is used instead of this one.
