| Guide for use: | Client - amount of assistance, total hours NNN is derived from the other Data Elements in this cluster:
The agency should calculate a total for each of the types of assistance that have been measured in hours and minutes throughout the reporting period. Each of the data elements listed above will be necessary in calculating the total amounts of assistance received. The data element Service event - service delivery setting, HACC code [N] is only required in relation to Nursing Care and Allied Health Care. Service event - assistance received date, DDMMYYYY: allows agencies to select service delivery events that were provided within the HACC MDS reporting period. Service event - assistance type, HACC code N[N]: allows agencies to identify service delivery events that relate to the same type of assistance. Service event - amount of assistance, total hours NNN: indicates the amount of assistance (in hours) that was received by the person on each occasion of service delivery. Service event - service delivery setting, HACC code [N]: allows agencies to separate nursing care and allied health care according to whether they were delivered to the person at home or at a centre or other setting. Service event - funding source, HACC code N: allows the agency to include only those service delivery events which were funded either wholly or partially through the HACC program (i.e. HACC service events). Each total will have a field length of between 1 and 4 digits. The total amount of each type of assistance provided should be rounded to the nearest whole hour. Total amounts of less than 30 minutes should be rounded to one hour. Where the agency has provided no assistance of a given type to the client within the reporting period, the amount of assistance should be reported as zero.
