Reason for transfer event #35

Open alistairewj opened 6 years ago

alistairewj commented 6 years ago

In the TRANSFERS table (which goes to VISIT_DETAIL) there is a care_site which tells you where the patient is moved to. However, there is no field to store the reason why a transfer was made (e.g. a bed transfer, a ward transfer, and so on).

In discussion we agree that this should go in a derived table because (1) it will make analysis easier and (2) it is inferred information.
