Definition

Uses

Data about the date and time of health services delivery are needed to maintain continuity of care for the ED patient and for aggregate use in ED administration, quality-of-care monitoring and evaluation, and health services research. Data on the time of ED departures frequently are compared with data on the time of disposition decisions in studies of ED patient flow.

Discussion

None.
