    • Can you please explain what the intent of the statement

      Can you please explain what the intent of the statement below regarding initial population?
      "/Emergency Department visit with a Decision to Admit inpatient followed by an Inpatient encounter within an hour of the ED Visit/"
      I am not on the tech side, to me this sounds like it says, limit the population to patients who left the ED w/in 60 minutes of decision to admit. Please clarify. Thank you.
