Data published online are in the public domain.
Data is entered into the Emergency Department Information System (EDIS) at each reporting hospital. As EDIS is an enterprise application with a single database, information is reported straight from the EDIS Reporting Database, which refreshes from the live EDIS Database every 5 minutes or less.
Hospital and Health Services use the data in the collection to monitor emergency department 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.
