Scope:![]() | The scope of the Public hospital establishments (PHE) data element cluster is establishment-level data for public acute and psychiatric hospitals, and alcohol and drug treatment centres. All activity, recurrent expenditure and related revenue in the public hospital's General Ledger are in-scope, regardless of whether all components are a 'public hospital service' under the National Health Reform Agreement (2011) (NHRA). Similar data for private hospitals and free-standing day hospital facilities are collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in the Private Health Establishments Collection. Hospitals specialising in dental, ophthalmic aids and other specialised acute medical or surgical care are included. Hospitals operated by the Australian Defence Force, corrections authorities and Australia's external territories are also not included. |

Guide for use:![]() | The following are principles of the collection. States and territories should consider these principles when providing data.
Recurrent expenditure and related revenue data reported to the PHE data element cluster should reconcile with published financial statements. Expenditure data are reported in two ways:
The total recurrent expenditure by product stream should equal the total recurrent expenditure by general ledger line item. For the purposes of the PHE data element cluster, funding from the Australian Government, state and territory health authorities and other state and territory government departments is considered to be revenue and should be reported as such. | ||||||||
Collection methods:![]() | Some data for this data element cluster are sourced from the state or territory health authority general ledger. Some other data are maintained at the Local Hospital Network (LHN) or hospital and are forwarded to the relevant state or territory health authority for inclusion. National reporting arrangements State and territory health authorities provide the data to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare for national collation, on an annual basis. Periods for which data are collected and nationally collated Financial years ending 30 June each year. | ||||||||

Comments:![]() | Interaction with the Local Hospital Networks and State or territory health authority data element clusters The PHE, LHN and State or territory health authority data element clusters work together to collect data on the public hospital system. The three data set specifications collect the same types of expenditure and revenue data items, but at different levels of the system:
It is expected that recurrent expenditure and related revenue data will be reported at the level at which they occur. In addition to the shared expenditure and revenue data items, the PHE data element cluster includes items such as establishment location, establishment type and specialised service indicators that do not appear in the other data element clusters. Scope links with other NMDSs The PHE NMDS shares scope with the following other hospital NMDSs, and establishment and expenditure collections:
