a period of time when a member is absent from work

The planned absence of an inpatient from the healthcare facility to which they were most recently admitted. Leave is counted only where that patient is absent at midnight and has a planned return within three nights of going on leave, for the continuation of their treatment or care. If after three days for non-psychiatric hospital inpatients or 14 days for informal mental health inpatients the patient has not returned to care, discharge is effective on the date of leaving hospital. Where there is more than one period of leave during an episode, accumulated leave days should be reported. NZHIS will be notified when formal or sectioned patients have been on leave for 14 days. This definition does not cover sectioned Mental Health Service patients whose leave definitions are included in the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992.
