Status: Open to the public for observation and comment, limited
only by the space available. The meeting room accommodates
approximately 150 people. All interested persons are invited to
participate in the workshop.
Purpose: The Workshop will provide a forum to review and refine
a uniform Emergency Department (ED) data set that is being drafted
by representatives of the organizations and agencies cosponsoring
the workshop. The Workshop cosponsors seek to develop a uniform ED
data set that will be recommended for routine use in creating a
record of each ED patient encounter, meet the essential data needs
of multiple ED data users, and be compatible with existing or
emerging national standards for health data. Workshop deliberations
will focus on ways to improve the draft uniform ED data set. Data
elements will be considered in separate, concurrent sessions, each
of which will review one of six discrete groups of data elements:
Demographic and identifying data, administrative data, illness/
injury incident data, ED arrival and initial assessment data, ED
procedure and results data, and ED diagnosis and outcome data. Each
breakout group will present a summary of its work in a plenary
session. The recommendations that emerge from the Workshop and
additional recommendations solicited after the meeting will be used
by the workshop cosponsors to complete the data set. Further
Workshops will be needed to incorporate lessons learned from
practical experience, research findings, and other advances in
health data systems.
Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
