The ‘E’ event end type code should be the same in both NNPAC and NMDS. Where patients are admitted to an inpatient ward from ED/AAU/SSU the NNPAC event end type code will always be DW Discharged to other service within same facility. Note 1: ‘Patient in ED/AAU/SSU receives treatment >3hrs admitted to Geriatric AT&R inpatient ward with ‘D’ health specialty code’. Older persons who present to ED with an acute condition who are admitted as an acute inpatient to a geriatric AT&R (older persons) inpatient ward with a ‘D’ health speciality code is not common practice. However where this does occur the reporting requirements are that a separate ED short stay event is to be reported with an event end type of DW Discharged to other service within same facility.
