Hospital - Inpatient Stay. Emergency Room Expenditures Although a person may have indicated that there was an emergency room visit that preceded this hospital stay (EMERROOM), there was no verification that, in fact, the emergency room visit was actually recorded within the Emergency Room Section of the questionnaire. While it is true that all of the event files can be linked by DUPERSID, there is no unique record link between hospital inpatient stays and emergency room visits. That is, a person could have one hospital inpatient stay and three emergency room visits during the calendar year. While the hospital inpatient stay record may indicate that it was preceded by an emergency room visit, there is no unique record link to the appropriate (of the three) emergency room visit.
