Collection and Usage Attributes
Patients undergoing the awaited procedure whilst admitted for another reason are to be coded as code 01.

Code 02 identifies patients who were admitted ahead of their normal position in the queue because the condition requiring treatment deteriorated whilst waiting. Admission as an emergency patient could also be due to other causes such as inappropriate urgency rating, delays in the system, or unpredicted biological variation. Code 04 is for the rare instance where patients are admitted that have already received treatment for the awaited procedure. These patients are admitted on the date that was originally planned when they were placed on the list, but after admission it is subsequently revealed that the treatment has already been performed elsewhere. Code 05 provides an indication of the amount of clerical audit of the waiting lists.
