A specialty unit in hospital that focuses on chronic respirator patients and pulmonary failure

(1) A hospital including a physical plant and personnel that provides multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment for diseases that have one or more of the following characteristics: is permanent; leaves residual disability; is caused by nonreversible pathological alteration; requires special training of the patient for rehabilitation; and/or may be expected to require a long period of supervision or care. In addition, patients require the safety, security, and shelter of these specialized inpatient or partial hospitalization settings. (2) A hospital that provides medical and skilled nursing services to patients with long-term illnesses who are not in an acute phase but who require an intensity of services not available in nursing homes

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include tests done based on clinical specimens to get health information about a patient as pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Hospital laboratories may be further divided into specialized units such as Anatomic Pathology, Microbiology, and Biochemistry.

An acute care institution that provides medical, surgical, or psychiatric care and treatment for the sick or the injured.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include the branch of medicine that uses ionizing and non-ionizing radiation to diagnose and treat diseases. The radiology unit may be further divided into subspecialties such as Imaging, Cardiovascular, Thoracic, and Ultrasound.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include collecting specimens and/or samples from patients for laboratory testing purposes, but does not perform any tests or analysis functions.

Focuses on assessing disability

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include tests are done on clinical specimens to get health information about a patient pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease for a hospital visit longer than one day.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include providing judicious, safe, efficacious, appropriate and cost effective use of medicines for treatment of patients for visits longer than one day. The distinction between inpatient pharmacies and retail (or outpatient) pharmacies is that they are part of a patient's continuity of care while staying in the hospital.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which include biochemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunochemistry, and toxicology.

A health care facility operated by the Department of Defense or other military operation.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include examination, diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of diseases and disorders of the eye as well as prescribing and fitting appropriate corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses) as needed. Optometry clinics may also provide tests for visual field screening, measuring intra-ocular pressure and ophthalmoscopy, as and when required.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include tests are done on clinical specimens to get health information about a patient pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease for same day visits.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include providing judicious, safe, efficacious, appropriate and cost effective use of medicines for treatment of patients for outpatient visits and may also be used for discharge prescriptions.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may social support services for adolescents who are pregnant or have child and are experiencing adaptation issues/difficulties in their current or eventual parenting role.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services which may include adaptation, rehabilitation and social integration services for people with physical impairments.

Description: A location that plays the role of delivering services for people with hearing impairments.

**Description:**The actual value is not a member of the set of permitted data values in the constrained value domain of a variable. (e.g., concept not provided by required code system).

Usage Notes: This flavor and its specializations are most commonly used with the CD datatype and its flavors. However, it may apply to *any* datatype where the constraints of the type are tighter than can be conveyed. For example, a PQ that is for a true measured amount whose units are not supported in UCUM, a need to convey a REAL when the type has been constrained to INT, etc.

With coded datatypes, this null flavor may only be used if the vocabulary binding has a coding strength of CNE. By definition, all local codes and original text are part of the value set if the coding strength is CWE.

**Description:**A proper value is applicable, but not known.

Usage Notes: This means the actual value is not known. If the only thing that is unknown is how to properly express the value in the necessary constraints (value set, datatype, etc.), then the OTH or UNC flavor should be used. No properties should be included for a datatype with this property unless:

1. Those properties themselves directly translate to a semantic of "unknown". (E.g. a local code sent as a translation that conveys 'unknown')
2. Those properties further qualify the nature of what is unknown. (E.g. specifying a use code of "H" and a URL prefix of "tel:" to convey that it is the home phone number that is unknown.)

Description: The actual value has not yet been encoded within the approved value domain.

Example: Original text or a local code has been specified but translation or encoding to the approved value set has not yet occurred due to limitations of the sending system. Original text has been captured for a PQ, but not attempt has been made to split the value and unit or to encode the unit in UCUM.

Usage Notes: If it is known that it is not possible to encode the concept, OTH should be used instead. However, use of UNC does not necessarily guarantee the concept will be encodable, only that encoding has not been attempted.

Data type properties such as original text and translations may be present when this null flavor is included.
