Gripal Syndrome Activity in Hospital Health Care

Monitor the evolution, access and demand in Hospital Health Care and provide information in a timely manner. **A.1 — Estimated number of emergency episodes****:** Somatory of emergency services episodes. **A.2 — Average waiting time between screening and first medical observation (hospital emergency network):** Numerator: Sum of the time elapsed between the Manchester screening and the first medical observation for each of the emergency episodes; Denominator: Count of emergency incidents. **A.3 — Rate of emergency episodes diagnosed with respiratory infection (hospital emergency network):** Numerator: Count of emergency episodes with influenza, flu syndrome or other respiratory infections; Denominator: Count of emergency incidents. __~~~~**Remarks:** **A.1 -** In services that do not report on certain days, an estimate of episodes is made using the following formula: [Estimate of episodes for emergency service X on day Y] = [Estimate NSI of the number residents for the area of influence of the Emergency Service X in the year of day Y] x [Episodes emergency reported by all emergency services on day Y] /[estimate NSI residents for the area of influence of all emergency services reporting on day Y]. In the denominator of the metric **A.2** only the emergency episodes in the emergency services reporting data related to “Manchester screening” and the denominator of the metric **A.3** are counted only the emergency episodes in the emergency services that report episodes with coding of diagnoses.
