In the majority of cases the decision about admission or discharge will occur within a time period determined by local, regional or national regulation, often between 24 and 48 hours.</td></tr><tr><td><a href="http://terminology.hl7.org/5.5.0/CodeSystem-v3-ActCode.html#v3-ActCode-SS">SS</a></td><td>short stay</td><td>An encounter where the patient is admitted to a health care facility for a predetermined length of time, usually less than 24 hours.</td></tr></table></li></ul></div>
