(1) Direct admission to hospital. Admission for the first time to an MTF for
current (continuous) hospitalization.
(2) Direct admission absent sick. An Army member being accounted for in an
absent sick status is a direct admission to the MTF having administrative responsibility.
Absent sick is an active duty Army patient admitted to a nonmilitary (civilian) MTF.
(3) Transfer admission. For active duty military members, the admission from
any military MTF at which the patient was being carried on the inpatient status. Active duty
Army members initially hospitalized in a civilian MTF and carried as absent sick by some
Army MTF would be a transfer admission when transferred to inpatient status at another
Army MTF. The CR will reflect the uninterrupted period of hospitalization and any in transit
days will be documented. Active duty Army members on absent sick status who are
brought into the reporting MTF are "change of status in" from absent sick, not transfer
admissions. For civilian/dependent personnel, admission by transfer applies only when a
transfer admission takes place between two U. S. military MTFs. In other cases,
civilian/dependent personnel are considered to be direct admissions.
