Collection and usage attributes | |
| Comments: | Required to adequately describe the services provided to non-admitted patients. Apart from acute hospitals, establishments generally provide a much more limited range of services for non-admitted patients and outreach/community patients/clients. Therefore disaggregation by type of episode is not as necessary as in acute hospitals. |
