A constrained ELEMENT to represent the method by which the subject of care was discharged from a hospital provider spell. A Hospital Provider Spell is the total continuous stay of a subject of care using a Hospital Bed on premises controlled by a Health Care Provider during which medical care is provided. The Hospital Provider Spell starts when a Consultant, Nurse or Midwife assumes responsibility for care following the decision to admit the subject of care. This may be before formal admission procedures have been completed and the subject of care transferred to a ward. For example, if a subject of care is brought into hospital as an emergency and dies in the operating theatre before being transferred to a ward, the Hospital Provider Spell would have started¹. ¹Data Dictionary: Discharge Method and Hospital Provider Spell
