Emergency department data

​​NSW Health collects data relating to visits to public emergency departments. This data can be used to report on activity, such as:

  • patient waiting times
  • urgency of care and complexity of presentations
  • patients who go on to be admitted to hospital or who are discharged
  • changes in patterns of demand for emergency department services.
The data can be transformed for a variety of uses, including health service planning and population health research.
