| Description: | By 2014–15, improve the provision of primary care and reduce the proportion of potentially preventable hospital admissions by 7.6 per cent over the 2006–07 baseline to 8.5 per cent of total hospital admissions (Baseline specification). There are two parts to this performance benchmark:
For Part 1, the measure is under development. For Part 2, the measure is defined below. |

| Denominator: | Total hospital separations |

| Disaggregation: | 2011–12—State and territory (by three groups and total). Some disaggregations may result in numbers too small for publication. |

| Comments: | Most recent data available for 2014 Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Reform Council (CRC) report: 2011–12. Baseline: 2006–07. The scope of the National Hospital Morbidity Database (NHMD) is episodes of care for admitted patients in essentially all hospitals in Australia, including public and private acute and psychiatric hospitals, free-standing day hospital facilities, alcohol and drug treatment hospitals and dental hospitals. Potentially preventable hospitalisations are called ‘ambulatory care sensitive hospitalisations’ in some jurisdictions. For 2011-12 data, the 2011 SEIFA IRSD decile data will be produced using the Australian Standard Geography Classification geographical unit of Statistical Local Area. In future years, these data will be produced using the Australian Statistical Geography Standard geographical unit of Statistical Area 2. Note that the measure being provided this cycle is equivalent to measure 2 (supplementary measure (a)) from the previous cycle. |
