Description
An URGENT AND EMERGENCY CARE EXTENDED CARE EPISODE IDENTIFIER is a system-generated ACTIVITY IDENTIFIER which uniquely identifies an Urgent and Emergency Care Extended Care Episode within a Health Care Provider and ORGANISATION SITE IDENTIFIER (OF TREATMENT).
Usage in Emergency Care Data Set Version 4:
All Emergency Care Attendances and Same Day Emergency Care Attendances, either face to face or virtual, and either scheduled or unscheduled, that occurs during an Urgent and Emergency Care Extended Care Episode period, must be linked back to the Urgent and Emergency Care Extended Care Episode.
The URGENT AND EMERGENCY CARE ACTIVITY IDENTIFIER which identifies the open Urgent and Emergency Care Extended Care Episode must be linked in the ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD system, and submitted in the Emergency Care Data Set Version 4 record relating to the Emergency Care Attendance or Same Day Emergency Care Attendance.
Therefore the URGENT AND EMERGENCY CARE EXTENDED CARE EPISODE IDENTIFIER data element must carry the unique identifier for the open Urgent and Emergency Care Extended Care Episode, whenever a scheduled or unscheduled Emergency Care Attendance or Same Day Emergency Care Attendance occurs within the open period.
