I am trying so hard to explain this correctly. This table just has multiple scenarios and I am doing my best. Ok Maybe this will help. I have a table of 125k+ rows all with the ID, dos, disch date and place of service. There are various options within this table. I went thru all 125k+ rows to find all the options. I need to categorize all hospitals in one hospital table but if they are associated with a hospice, rehab, nursing, skilled admission then they are to go to an other table, only if they are within a 30day period. Then if there is only a hospice, rehab, nursing, skilled admission...they need to be in the other table. I am using 999 as an example. 999 has a hospital with disch 15jan2010 but then another hospital admission 20feb2010 which is less than the 30days but because the hospital is followed by another hospital, the first hospital would fall into the hospital table. The second hospital is associated with the rehab and skilled so all 3 need to be in the other table. I hope this is enough information. This is my third time trying to explain this correctly. data have; informat dos disch date8.; format dos disch date8.; input id plc $ dos disch ; cards; 111 hospital 15jun2010 18jun2010 111 hospital 11dec2010 15dec2010 111 hospice 15dec2010 17dec2010 111 rehab 15jan2011 31jan2011 111 hospital 12nov2011 15nov2011 222 hospital 01jan2010 10jan2010 333 hospital 01feb2011 07feb2011 444 hospital 01jun2010 07jun2010 444 rehab 07jun2010 15jun2010 444 nursing 15jun2010 17jun2010 444 hospital 17aug2011 30aug2011 555 rehab 15aug2011 29aug2011 666 hospital 01jan2010 02jan2010 777 skilled 06aug2011 15aug2011 888 hospice 10aug2011 30aug2011 999 hospital 01jan2010 15jan2010 999 hospital 20feb2010 25feb2010 999 rehab 27feb2010 28feb2010 999 skilled 03mar2010 07mar2010 001 hospital 20aug2010 25aug2010 001 hospital 15sep2011 15sep2011 002 rehab 05sep2011 07sep2011 002 hospital 08sep2011 15sep2011 002 hospice 15sep2011 17sep2011 003 hospital 01jan2010 15jan2010 004 rehab 15jan2010 17jan2010 005 hospital 01jan2011 15jan2011 005 rehab 27jan2011 30jan2011 ; run; I need to have hospital only items that are never associated with rehab, hospice, skilled put into one table and the rest in the other table. So the outcome of this above should be like this: using up to +30 between the disch and the adm. So in the case of ID 111 if they are discharged from the hospital on 15dec2010 and then admitted to rehab on 15jan2011, the entire record fo 111 during the date periods would be in the other table.
