Guide for use: | The data element Elective surgery waiting list episode—intended procedure, code NNN replaces the retired data element Elective surgery waiting list episode—indicator procedure, code NN in the Elective Surgery Waiting Times NMDS. Patients who are added to a waiting list after 1 July 2016 should be assigned an Intended procedure. For the purposes of national reporting (of the data for 2017–18 onwards), patients who were added to a waiting list before 1 July 2016, and who are still waiting as at 1 July 2017 should have their existing Indicator procedure recoded to the list of Intended procedures. The titles of the intended procedures in this data element may not be identical to the titles of procedures included in the National Elective Surgery Urgency Categorisation Guideline - April 2015 (the Guideline (COAG Health Council 2015)). Accurate assignment of intended procedures may require reference to the additional information (such as the diagnoses for which the procedure was intended) in the Guideline. This additional information is also presented in the Comments below. The Guideline can be accessed using the link in the Reference Documents section. CODE 888 Other All other procedures not included above. |

Comments: | Codes 001 to 015 have been assigned to intended procedures that are considered to be equivalent to the procedures included in the retired data element Elective surgery waiting list episode—indicator procedure, code NN. Codes 016 and 017 have been assigned to the intended procedures ‘Myringotomy (without insertion of grommets)’ and ‘Pressure equalising tubes – insertion of’ which, combined, are considered to be equivalent to the indicator procedure ‘Myringotomy’. Codes 018 to 152 have been assigned alphabetically to the remaining intended procedures. There are some differences between the intended procedures in this data element and the list of procedures included in the Guideline (COAG Health Council 2015). Where relevant, differences between the intended procedure and the list of procedures included in the Guideline are noted under each intended procedure code. While the CODE name may not include the description 'repair of' or 'revision of', the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) codes for these interventions may still be included in the list of ACHI codes below for each intended procedure. Non-surgical procedures are excluded from the definition of elective surgery in Elective care waiting list episode—elective care type, code N. The following Guideline procedures are not included in this data element as the procedures are not classified as a surgical operation on the Medicare Benefits Schedule:
The phrase ‘for reasons other than cosmetic’ has been removed from the titles of some Guideline procedures. This is because cosmetic surgery is excluded from the definition of elective surgery in Elective care waiting list episode—elective care type, code N. The ACHI codes which are listed under each intended procedure below provide guidance as to what the intended procedures would be likely to include. CODE 001 Cataract extraction (with or without intraocular lens insertion) Cataract extraction (with or without intra-ocular lens insertion) is considered to be equivalent to the previous indicator procedure titled ‘Cataract extraction’.
