Accident and Emergency Departure Date is an ACTIVITY DATE TIME.

Accident and Emergency Departure Date is the date that a PATIENT leaves an Accident and Emergency Department after an Accident and Emergency Attendance has concluded.

• This date may be different from the Accident and Emergency Attendance Conclusion Date for PATIENTS who wait for patient transport or who are LODGED PATIENTS prior to admission to a WARD.
• The PATIENT may leave the Accident and Emergency Department temporarily during an Accident and Emergency Attendance, e.g. for an X-ray but they remain under the care of an Accident and Emergency CONSULTANT.
• For guidance on the use of this data item in the Accident and Emergency Clinical Quality Indicators, further information is available on the Department of Health website.
