Collection and usage attributes
Guide for use:	The episode end status should guide the selection of the value to be recorded in this field: If the service episode is completed without the patient being admitted, then record the time the patient's emergency department non-admitted clinical care ended. If the service episode is completed and the patient is referred to another hospital for admission, then record the time the patient leaves the emergency department. If the patient was dead on arrival, then record the time the body was removed from the emergency department. If an emergency department physician certified the death of the patient outside the emergency department, then record the time the patient was certified dead. If the patient was registered, advised of another health care service, and left the emergency department without being attended by a health care professional, then record the time the patient leaves the emergency department.
Collection methods:	Collected in conjunction with emergency department physical departure date.
Comments:	This data element has been developed for the purpose of State and Territory compliance with the Australian Health Care Agreement and the agreed national access performance indicator.
