The VISIT_OCCURRENCE table contains the spans of time a Person continuously receives medical services from one or more providers at a Care Site in a given setting within the health care system. Visits are classified into 4 settings: outpatient care, inpatient confinement, emergency room, and long-term care. Persons may transition between these settings over the course of an episode of care (for example, treatment of a disease onset).

* A Visit Occurrence is recorded for each visit to a healthcare facility.
* Valid Visit Concepts belong to the "Visit" domain.
* Standard Visit Concepts are defined as Inpatient Visit, Outpatient Visit, Emergency Room Visit, Long Term Care Visit and combined ER and Inpatient Visit. The latter is necessary because it is close to impossible to separate the two in many EHR system, treating them interchangeably. To annotate this correctly, the visit concept “Emergency Room and Inpatient Visit” (concept_id=262) should be used.
* Handling of death: In case when patient died during admission (Visit_Occurrence. discharge_disposition_concept_id = 4216643 ‘Patient died’), a record in the Death table should be created with death_type_concept_id = 44818516 (“EHR discharge status "Expired").

* Source Concepts from place of service vocabularies are mapped into these standard visit Concepts in the Standardized Vocabularies.
* At any one day, there could be more than one visit.
* One visit may involve multiple providers, in which case the ETL must specify how a single provider id is selected or leave the provider_id field null.
* One visit may involve multiple Care Sites, in which case the ETL must specify how a single care_site id is selected or leave the care_site_id field null.
* Visits are recorded in various data sources in different forms with varying levels of standardization. For example:
* Medical Claims include Inpatient Admissions, Outpatient Services, and Emergency Room visits.
* Electronic Health Records may capture Person visits as part of the activities recorded depending wether the EHR system is used at the different Care Sites.
* Electronic Health Records may capture Person visits as part of the activities recorded depending whether the EHR system is used at the different Care Sites.
