Collection and Usage Attributes

Guide for Use

01 Identifies patients undergoing the awaited procedure whilst admitted for another reason

02 Identifies patients who are admitted 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

Codes 03 to 05 identify patients who have been removed following a clerical audit of the waiting list. Either the patient could not be contacted (03), or after the patient was contacted, the patient was removed from the list because they had received their procedure at another facility (04) or had decided to no longer have the procedure (05).

06 Identifies patients who are transferred to another hospital's waiting list.
