How is PET calculated?

PET is the time from presentation (ambulance or walk-in) to removal from the department (admitted to bed or discharged home).

Admitted patients are those patients with a decision to admit/DTA by the inpatient team (i.e. those with a bed request) or those patients without a DTA who are directly admitted to a hospital ward.

Non-admitted PET is calculated for patients who are directly discharged from ED home.

Percentage is showing how many patients met (6, 8, 24h) PET time.
