Currently Date of Service and Admission date are the same, due to uses within Hospital and Clinic, the DOS and admission date could be different information, currently it all pulls the admission date but with two titles. Please vote to help improve data pull
Thank you for the feedback! One clarifying comment regarding this, as you mentioned, currently, DOS and Admission Date are tied together, which is not always going to be the case. We also have a concept of Current Date in Notes, but even Current Date and Admission Date will not always be the same either.
I do see the challenge here - because the DOS relates to the date in which a patient received medical services or treatments, which could very well not be on the Admission Date or the Current Date. Automatically pulling in a date is intended to save time, but when it's not accurate, I understand it creates more work.
I'd love to hear any additional opinions or ideas on the best way to potentially accommodate for DOS, knowing it could be different than Admission and Current Date.
Date of Service is very false information per the providers. The Date of Service is the date that you saw the patient. On day four of their stay in the hospital, the date of service field is that day, not the admission day. We have had to create all of our demographic headers ourselves because it is false, inaccurate data that can get us into legal trouble.
