Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:Help on this term

The actual number of hours is not the number of hours staffed; for example, a 'group home' would operate 24 hours a day, but might only be staffed a few hours if at all on some days.

Services that have no regular daily pattern of operation, or which have different weekday and weekend patterns, should record 'no regular pattern of operation through a day' (for example, flexible hours, on call, 24-hour sleepover).

Collection methods:Help on this termIt may be necessary to collect the information separately for week-days versus weekend days or, for individual days of the week if there is no consistent pattern.
Comments:Help on this term

When collected in conjunction with service operation days, and service operation weeks, this metadata item can provide useful information on patterns of service delivery.

Implementation start date: 01/07/2015
Implementation end date: 30/06/2016
DSS specific information:

In the Disability Services Minimum Data Set (DS NMDS), this data element refers to the number of hours per day the service type outletusually operates. It is asking about the amount of time the service type outlet is generally open for service provision to service users, not about the amount of time a service type outlet is staffed.

A service type outlet is considered to be operating whenever service is open to service users (e.g. if the service type outlet is staffed between the hours of 9am–5pm but is only open for service users between 10am–3pm, it is considered to usually operate for 5 hours per day).

Service type outlets that provide facility-based accommodation (e.g. group homes) should record their hours as 24 per day if the service users reside in the facility on an ongoing basis and can access the facility at any time, even though the facility may not be staffed during parts of the day. In contrast, if service users are not able to stay in the residential facility during certain hours, the facility is not considered to be open or operating during these hours.

Service type outlets of service types 7.01–7.04 may record ‘90’ (‘no regular pattern of operation through a day’), or, if possible and they wish to do so, they may record the actual number of days per week of operation.
