A new methodology to accurately capture all A&E activity in weekly and monthly Public Health Scotland statistical publications will be applied from 4 February 2025. Not every department in the UK has moved to having some planned attendances (for instance, we haven’t in Leeds), but it is important that this data is included in the ED reporting figures as it continues to capture all attendances through an ED. What it shouldn’t be allowed to do is be used to directly offset poor admitted performance. This means ECS performance around admitted patients and for planned attendances (which will generally be of lower acuity) needs to be clearly set out in reporting processes. It will also be interesting to see how these work alongside colocated UTC’s and the differentiation between #ED and #UTC activity. https://lnkd.in/d5uBZVCQ
