Data for sites running ieMR FirstNet is a manual submission FTP'd every month for inclusion into the EDC.
Hospital and Health Services use the data in the collection to monitor ED activity and performance.

The Department of Health uses the data in the collection to monitor ED activity and performance, and to conduct analysis to support service improvement, planning and purchasing strategies.

Commonwealth reporting requirements for ED National Minimum Data Sets are identified by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

The data from the collection is reported on the Hospital Performance website to provide transparency of activity and performance to the public.
