Collection methods:![]() | The definition of the term 'multiple health-care provider' can vary depending on the context and/or collection in which the term is being applied. For example, in the context of reporting non-admitted activity data for activity based funding, 'multiple health-care provider' means three or more health-care providers who deliver care either individually or jointly within a non-admitted patient service event. The health-care providers may be of the same profession (medical, nursing or allied health). However, they must each have a different speciality so that the care provided by each provider is unique and meets the definition of a non-admitted patient service event. In practice, this should be interpreted as meaning that the patient can separately identify the unique care provided by each health-care provider. For example:
