An Urgent and Emergency Care Initial Assessment Timestamp is an ACTIVITY DATE TIME.
An Urgent and Emergency Care Initial Assessment Timestamp is the date, time and time zone that the PATIENT is first assessed during an Emergency Care Attendance or a Same Day Emergency Care Attendance.
An initial assessment during an Emergency Care Attendance includes:
- the taking of a brief PATIENT medical history
- pain assessment
- early warning scores (including vital signs).
The assessment should be conducted by a CARE PROFESSIONAL who has received appropriate training.
An initial assessment including the same clinical activities is also required in Same Day Emergency Care, where the PATIENT attends Same Day Emergency Care directly, without first being seen and assessed in the Emergency Care Department.
