Australian emergency department reference set

This reference set supports the recording of reasons for presentation, presenting problems and diagnoses within emergency department settings in Australia. It supersedes and expands on the content of the earlier Emergency Department Reference Set (EDRS) suite to provide a wide range of clinically relevant terms to enable safe clinical care delivery, a capability to serve clinician decision support, care guidelines and pathways, and provide interoperability with inpatient and general practice records when patients are transferred between care settings. This reference set supports the accurate and unambiguous electronic communication and exchange of information between clinicians involved in a patient's care relating to that patient's presentation at the point of triage and diagnosis at the point of discharge from an emergency department.
