Die30d |
Has patient died? |
1 = Yes; 0 = No |
CurExp |
Has patient died? |
1 = Yes; 2 = No/ND |
Data element name and response options modified since CDC decided to align with GWTG to accurately capture the period of time since discharge (“30-day” no longer needed). |

DiePer |
Select Period: |
1 = Within 30 days post-discharge; 2 = Within 60 days post-discharge; 3 = Within 90 days post-discharge |
New required question added to align more accurately with GWTG to capture period of time when a patient died post-discharge. |
