CODE 1 Co-located Co-located health services are those that are established physically and organisationally as part of an acute care hospital service. There are two forms of co-location: - a health service that is built and managed as a ward or unit within an acute care hospital; or
- the health service operates in a separate building but is located on, or immediately adjoining, the acute care hospital campus.
In the second option, units and wards within a psychiatric hospital may be classified as co-located when all the following criteria apply: - a single organisational or management structure covers the acute care hospital and the psychiatric hospital;
- a single employer covers the staff of the acute care hospital and the psychiatric hospital;
- the location of the acute care hospital and psychiatric hospital can be regarded as part of a single overall hospital campus; and
- the patients of the psychiatric hospital are regarded as patients of the single integrated health service.
