No standard for unknown admission/discharge location

[alistairewj]

We have hospital admission source of " INFO NOT AVAILABLE " and a discharge location of "OTHER FACILITY". For admission, the only decent match I found was 32199 - Information not available - from class "UB04 Point of Origin". The UB04 ontology seems to be for claims though, not sure what the impact of that would be.

For the discharge of other facility I used 8844 - Other Place of Service - though there was the option of 32209 - Unknown Value (but present in data) from class "UB04 Pt dis status".

Seems odd there is no standard concept for a location of "unknown", am I missing something?

indeed, a "unknown" concept is missing quite everywhere. That's something we might discuss with the omop community
