Background:
The National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) is a tool for
collecting data and reporting on all levels of ambulatory care within
Canada including Emergency Departments (ED’s), day surgery, and
medical and surgical day clinics within hospitals, the community and
private clinics.

BC hospitals provide a significant proportion of urgent and emergent
care in BC - each year there are approximately 2 million ED visits.
Roughly 11% of these visits result in an admission to an inpatient bed,
however the record doesn’t contain full information on their time in the ED,
which is the first part of their hospital episode of care.
The remaining 89% or 1.8 million visits per year are patients that are
treated and released from the ED and for these patients data is very limited.

NACRS provides 3 data submission options for Emergency Department
data as follows:
•NACRS Level 1 Data Submission
•Includes data elements that are readily available from hospital ADT
and/or EDIS systems. These data elements include those required
for ED Wait Time indicators
•NACRS Level 2 Data Submission
•Builds on Level 1 data elements and adds 2 additional elements:
Presenting Complaint or ED Discharge Diagnosis collected using pick
lists. (Diagnosis are automatically coded to ICD-10-CA)

NACRS is currently in 20 Emergency Departments
throughout the province, which account for about 43%
of the total ED visits in BC in a given year.
![Page 13: National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS)€¦ · for ED Wait Time indicators •NACRS Level 2 Data Submission •Builds on Level 1 data elements and adds 2 additional elements:](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050110/5f47f641e6a9903b52124196/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Collection of NACRS level 2 data presents a rich opportunity to fill
existing gaps.
Increased patient level information on ED visits could be used to:
-assess the impact of integrated Primary and Community Care models
on reducing utilization of hospital services
-Monitor quality and safety improvement initiatives across the health
care system
-Inform contract negotiations with ED physicians
-Monitor and assess the effectiveness of ED pay-for-performance
projects
-Assess the impact of programs for target populations such as Injury
Prevention, Mental Health, and Addictions Programs
-Identify ED overcrowding and access issues.
