EMERGENCY CARE ACUITY (SNOMED CT) is the SNOMED CT® concept ID which is used to indicate the acuity of the PATIENT's condition on the Emergency Care Initial Assessment Date and Emergency Care Initial Assessment Time.

The EMERGENCY CARE ACUITY (SNOMED CT) may be determined by a formal triage process, or by the physical allocation of the PATIENT to a specific clinical area such as Resuscitation.
