CodeDescription

Collection and Usage Attributes
A patient is removed from an elective surgery waiting list when a service request for a surgical procedure has been received and the patient has been wait-listed, and is subsequently removed from the waiting list with or without the procedure being performed.

Code 1 Admitted as an elective patient at this hospital
This code must be used for a patient removed from an elective surgery waiting list because the procedure they were awaiting had been performed as planned.

Code 2 Admitted as an emergency patient at this hospital
This code must be used for a patient removed from an elective surgery waiting list because the procedure they were awaiting had been performed as an emergency, not as planned.

Code 3 Could not be contacted
This code must be used for a patient who failed to respond to an offer for a booking or audit measures, despite reasonable efforts to contact them.

Code 4 Treated elsewhere for awaited procedure (not on behalf of this hospital or the State)
This code must be used for a patient who elected to receive their surgery privately at their own cost, or outside of Queensland.

Code 5 Surgery not required or declined
This code must be used for a patient who was removed by a designated clinician from the waiting list for clinical reasons, such as the patient being deemed not fit for the procedure due to co-morbidities requiring management for stabilisation or investigation, or removed according to local policy, or who requested to be removed from the waiting list.

Code 6 Transferred to another hospital for awaited procedure (on behalf of this hospital or the State)
This code must be used for a patient transferred off the waiting list to another public facility after the originating facility ceased the elective surgery service, patients whose co-morbidities required transfer to a facility with a higher clinical service capability, patients transferred because another facility had capacity, or those treated through the Surgery Connect program.

Code 7 Patient died before receiving awaited procedure
This code must be used for a patient who died while waiting, whether or not the cause of death was related to the condition requiring treatment.
Elective Surgery Data Collection (ESDC):
Data element is not blank.
Value of the data element must be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9.
For national reporting of the Elective surgery waiting list episode-reason for removal from a waiting list (NHDD) data element the following mapping occurs:
Code 1 Admitted and treated as an elective patient for awaited procedure in this hospital is mapped to code 1 Admitted as an elective patient for awaited procedure by or on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory.
Code 2 Admitted and treated as an emergency patient for awaited procedure in this hospital is mapped to code 2 Admitted as an emergency patient for awaited procedure by or on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory.
Code 3 Could not be contacted is mapped to code 3 Could not be contacted (includes patients who have died while waiting whether or not the cause of death was related to the condition requiring treatment).
Code 4 Treated elsewhere for awaited procedure (not on behalf on this hospital or state/territory) is mapped to Code 4 Treated elsewhere for awaited procedure, but not on behalf of this hospital or the state/territory.
Code 5 Surgery not required or declined is mapped to code 5 Surgery not required or declined.
Code 6 Transferred to another hospital for awaited procedure (on behalf on this hospital or state/territory) is mapped to code 6 Transferred to another hospital's waiting list.
Code 7 Patient died before receiving awaited procedure is mapped to code 3 Could not be contacted (includes patients who have died while waiting whether or not the cause of death was related to the condition requiring treatment).
Code 9 Not stated/unknown is mapped to code 9 Not known.
Removals from the waiting list are sometimes further disaggregated as patients treated and removed. Treated patients are those with a reason for removal code 1 or 2. Removed patients are those with a reason for removal code 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 9.
