Computation description:Help on this term

Numerator only.

Injury resulting from fall is defined by ICD-10-AM external cause codes of W00–W19.

Events occurring in residential aged care are defined by a place of occurrence code of Y92.14 (Aged Care Facility).

Numerator:Help on this termNumber of hospital separations with a diagnosis of injury resulting from fall, where event occurred in residential aged care

Further data development / collection required:Help on this term

Work is required to improve the identification of Indigenous Australians within this data.

Refinement of ICD-10-AM codes to ensure correct identification of cases occurring in residential aged care.

Separate data collections could be undertaken in residential aged care facilities to collect information on falls that did not lead to hospitalisation.
Other issues caveats:Help on this term

Disaggregation by Indigenous status, remoteness area and SEIFA of residence within individual states/territories is subject to data quality considerations.

Some disaggregation could result in numbers too small for publication.

This indicator is presented as a count only. Analysis of changes in the number over time would need to be interpreted taking into consideration changing care needs and comorbidities of people in residential aged care as well as the increasing resident population.

Note that while this calculation differs to the calculation of adverse events in hospitals (which will be calculated as a rate based on separations), a comparison of the two rates would not be instructive as the two populations (residential care and hospitals) have very different dynamics.

The quality of hospital data on Indigenous status is not considered to be adequate for analysis purposes for the ACT and Tasmania.
