Guide for use:

For community health care, outreach services and services provided via telephone or telehealth, this may be the date on which the service provider presents to the patient or the telephone/telehealth session commences.

The date of patient presentation at the <dfn id="meteor.aihw.gov.au:24950:440d789c2f3b3">Emergency department </dfn>is the earliest occasion of being registered clerically or triaged.

The date that the patient presents is not necessarily:

  • the listing date for care (see listing date for care), nor
  • the date on which care is scheduled to be provided, nor
  • the date on which commencement of care actually occurs (for admitted patients see admission date, for hospital non-admitted patient care and community health care see service commencement date).
