Both admission_date and discharge_date are always null. We need admission and discharge dates for inpatient analytics. An easy option might be to use claim_start_date and claim_end_date for any claim_id that has a DRG. We want to make sure that length of stay, which equals discharge - admit, produces a reasonable average. This number should be between 3 and 6 days probably.
@aneiderhiser Thu Xuan resolved this issue back in June. The synthetic claims data now has admission and discharge dates. Do we still need to keep this open?
