DHR is used to record the hour of discharge in the same manner as which field?

• A. FL 12 Admission
• B. FL 13 HR
• C. FL 9a Mailing address
• D. FL 15 SRC

Answer: (B)

Recording the hour of discharge uses the Hours field (HR). The DHR specifies the date and the exact hour of discharge, and the hour part is entered in the same place and in the same format as the hour used for admission. On the UB-04 form, this is the field labeled HR. The other options correspond to data like admission date, mailing address, or source of admission, none of which are time fields. So the discharge hour should be recorded in the Hours field (HR), just as the admission hour is recorded.
