California No longer supplied beginning in 2017. Beginning in 1997, ASCHED is available. California defines a "Scheduled Admit" as scheduled at least 24 hours before admission. The source category "Infant, less than 24 hours old" is included in the uniform category "Unscheduled Admit" (ASCHED = 0). New York According to the New York documentation, ASCHED will no longer be available by SPARCS starting 9/30/2007. This data element is filled with blanks so this data element will not be available on the HCUP files starting in 2008. New York defined a "Scheduled" admission as one which was arranged through the hospital at least 24 hours before the admission. |
