An Emergency Care Departure Date is an ACTIVITY DATE TIME.

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

Notes:

• For PATIENTS who die in an Emergency Care Department the Emergency Care Departure Date is the date the body was removed from the Emergency Care Department.
• The PATIENT may leave the Emergency Care Department temporarily during an Emergency Care Attendance, for example for an X-ray, but they remain under the care of an emergency care CONSULTANT.

Note that for piloting purposes only, an Emergency Care Departure Date may also be the Ambulatory Emergency Care Departure Date.
