Mar 1, 2019

Values present in the data that are not included in the Arkansas APCD Data Dictionary should be considered invalid. Where possible, the Arkansas APCD removes these values when appropriate. For example, extraneous values for Gender such as “T” for Transgender will be replaced with NULL. No such checks are made on fields with widely varied values such as diagnosis codes, procedure codes, revenue codes, bill types, etc.
