The A13 event is sent when an A03 (discharge/end visit) event is canceled, either because of erroneous entry of the A03 event or because of a decision not to discharge or end the visit of the patient after all. PV1-3-assigned location should reflect the location of the patient after the cancellation has been processed. Note that this location may be different from the patients location prior to the erroneous discharge. Prior Location could be used to show the location of the patient prior to the erroneous discharge.
The fields included when this message is sent should be the fields pertinent to communicate this event. When other important fields change it is recommended that the A08 (update patient information) event be used instead.
