Spanish term

ALTA CON/HOS

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Hospital Admission Form
This is from a series of information fields at the top of a hospital admitting form, from Spain. Some of the other fields are:

Servicio
F. ingreso
F. alta
Servicio Peticionario

On the row where this term appears we have:

N. Cama // F. Nac.-SX // ALTA CON/HOS = SÍ

This seems to have to do with the discharge, but I can't figure out "con/hos". And, this patient wasn't really 'discharged' but passed away in the hospital. I appreciate your help with this mysterious abbreviation!

PS: As I was about to post the question, the KudoZ form popped up with a reminder that this term has been asked before (see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/2295866) and partially answered with a suggestion of ALTA CONSULTA / ALTA HOSPITALARIA. That being the case, I'm slightly closer ... ¿but how would we translate Alta Consulta / Alta Hospitalaria?
Proposed translations (English)
4 Consulta / Hospital

I think I would be tempted to translate this as DISCHARGE (CONS/ADM) for 'consultation/admission'

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Hey Alberto, thank you for your suggestion ... it's the best one I received all night. I actually assumed that CON stood for "consultorio" in my translation, but I'm not completely sure of it... so I'll say that it might also have been "consulta". We'll let the next person who consults this term choose the option they think is best."
