definition
Finished consultant episode (FCE) is a continuous period of admitted patient care
under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FCEs do not represent the number of in-patients, as a person may have more than one period of care within the year. This field is derived in HES and it is set to a value of 1 for finished episodes i.e. where the Episode Status is 3 and the Patient Classification is 1, 2 or 5 (Ordinary admission, day case admission or mothers and babies using only delivery facilities).
