Discharge department

For now this is what I can provide you. The difference between Count 2 and Count 3 is that count 3 shall not count discharged from same department unless there is a discharge date. The difference shall not be noticed using the sample data as there are no blanks in the end date.
Yes, you can have one filter for the starting and one filter for the ending department.
But i need more example data to create the measure and you have to make more clear how you handle or want to see the discharge out of the hospital. Also what is with cases like A -> B -> A -> out of the hospital how you count it? without the station between start and end?
Hi, andhiii079845
A movement between departments uses the start and end date. When the end date and dismissal date are the same then the patient is discharged form that department.
patient 1 only had a transfer a to B, no discharge out of hospital
patient 2 didn't moved to another department and gets discharged out of hospital
patient 3 moved from department A to B and gets discharged out of B
Is that what you need?

Thank you for the explanation. So the discharge out of the hospital is not relevant, right? How you want to handle the case if a person go from A to B to C or A to B to A. ? Should every transfer should be count ?

The discharge out of hospital is only relevant when there is no next department. Then "discharge" needs to count as an movement, but only for the last deparment for that patient.
Every transfer needs to be counted, even they move back to a department
