Abstract

SMR1 is an episode based record relating to all inpatients and day cases discharged from non psychiatric, non obstetric wards in Scottish hospitals. A record is raised when a patient is discharged from hospital, changes consultant or is transferred to another hospital. SMR1 records contain clinical and non clinical data. Approximately 1 million records are created annually.
