    Status: Open to the public for observation and comment, limited 
only by the space available. The meeting room accommodates 
approximately 150 people. All interested persons are invited to 
participate in the workshop.
    Purpose: The Workshop will provide a forum to review and refine 
a uniform Emergency Department (ED) data set that is being drafted 
by representatives of the organizations and agencies cosponsoring 
the workshop. The Workshop cosponsors seek to develop a uniform ED 
data set that will be recommended for routine use in creating a 
record of each ED patient encounter, meet the essential data needs 
of multiple ED data users, and be compatible with existing or 
emerging national standards for health data. Workshop deliberations 
will focus on ways to improve the draft uniform ED data set. Data 
elements will be considered in separate, concurrent sessions, each 
of which will review one of six discrete groups of data elements: 
Demographic and identifying data, administrative data, illness/
injury incident data, ED arrival and initial assessment data, ED 
procedure and results data, and ED diagnosis and outcome data. Each 
breakout group will present a summary of its work in a plenary 
session. The recommendations that emerge from the Workshop and 
additional recommendations solicited after the meeting will be used 
by the workshop cosponsors to complete the data set. Further 
Workshops will be needed to incorporate lessons learned from 
practical experience, research findings, and other advances in 
health data systems.
    Agenda items are subject to change as priorities dictate.
