SMR04: Hospital data for patients treated in Scotland is collected as a series of Scottish Morbidity records (SMR). The record type denotes the general type of healthcare received during an episode and/or the nature or status of the patient. An SMR04 is raised at the outset of each Inpatient Admission and of each Day Case Admission for care in the mental health specialties in a psychiatric hospital or unit, or facility treating people with learning difficulties, whereby Part 1 of the record containing admission details is completed and submitted. The termination of an Inpatient Episode or of a Day Case Episode within these facilities then raises a completion of the SMR04 record (Part 2) which is a copy of the original record with the inclusion of transfer/discharge/disposal details.
