NAACCR XML: Patient.placeOfDeath




Description
State or country where the patient died and where certificate of death  is filed. Effective with NAACCR Volume II, Version 13 two new data  items, Place of Death--State [1942] and Place of Death--Country [1944]  were added to the standard transmission record layout. The UDS Committee  expects the new items to replace the use of Place of Death [1940] since  the new items use interoperable codes.
Rationale
This field also helps carry out death clearance. When a hospital reports a place of death, the information can help in death certificate matching. It can also signal an out-of-state death for which the death certificate is to be requested.
Codes in addition to geocodes:
997 Not applicable, patient alive
998 Outside state/county code unknown. Known town, city, state, or country of residence but county code not known AND a resident outside of the state of reporting institution (must meet all criteria). Use this code for Canadian residents.
Note: See Appendix B for geocodes
