RX Date--Hormone Flag

NAACCR
1534-1535
Description
This flag explains why no appropriate value is in the field, RX Date Hormone [1230]. This data item was first available in Volume II Version 12.
Formerly RX Date--Hormone Flag.
Rationale
Before Version 12 (through 2009 diagnosis), date fields included codes that provided information other than dates. As part of an initiative to standardize date fields, new fields were introduced to accommodate non-date information that had previously been transmitted in date fields.
Codes (See Appendix H for the complete Flavors of Null table, which includes the NAACCR codes, HL7 codes and definitions.)
10
No information whatsoever can be inferred from this exceptional value (e.g., unknown if any hormone therapy administered).
11
No proper value is applicable in this context (e.g., no hormone therapy administered; autopsy only cases).
12
A proper value is applicable but not known. This event occurred, but the date is unknown (e.g., hormone therapy administered but date is unknown).
15
Information is not available at this time, but it is expected that it will be available later (e.g., hormone therapy is planned as part of the first course of therapy, but had not been started at the time of the most recent follow-up).
Blank
A valid date value is provided in item RX Date Hormone [1230], or the date was not expected to have been transmitted.
Comment: This is part of the initiative of the transformation from the old NAACCR date standards to interoperable dates.
