Scope:Help on this term

The Indigenous-specific primary health care national best endeavours data set (ISPHC NBEDS) is primarily designed to support the collection of data for use in associated national Key Performance Indicators (nKPIs). Data are collected from Indigenous-specific primary health care organisations or maternal and child health programs/services funded by the Department of Health under its Indigenous Australians' Health Programme (IAHP), referred to as funded organisations.

For the purposes of the ISPHC NBEDS, Indigenous-specific primary health care is defined as:

“…socially and culturally appropriate, universally accessible, scientifically sound, first level care. It is provided by health services and systems with a suitably trained workforce comprised of multidisciplinary teams supported by integrated referral systems in a way that: gives priority to those most in need and addresses health inequalities; maximises community and individual self-reliance, participation and control and; involves collaboration and partnership with other sectors to promote public health. Comprehensive primary health care includes health promotion, illness prevention, treatment, and care of the sick, community development, advocacy, and rehabilitation services.”

This definition has been endorsed by the Aboriginal Medical Services Alliance of the Northern Territory (AMSANT), the Australian General Practice Network (AGPN), the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI), and the Australian Medical Association (AMA).

Funded organisations include:

  1. Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (ACCHO): primary health-care organisations initiated and operated by the local Aboriginal community to deliver holistic, comprehensive, and culturally appropriate health care to the community which controls it (through a locally elected Board of Management); and
  2. Non-Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisation (non-ACCHO): government-run organisations (such as local health districts) and non-government organisations (such as not-for-profit charitable health services) funded principally to provide services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. These non community-controlled organisations mainly exist in the Northern Territory and the northern part of Queensland.

The ISPHC NBEDS describes (using individual-level data elements) the aggregate data to be provided to the AIHW by those organisations. While the ISPHC NBEDS describes the data by means of individual level data elements, only aggregate data at organisation level are supplied. No individual level client data are supplied.

Collection and usage attributes

Statistical unit:Help on this term

Each unit represents aggregate data from an individual funded organisation relating to the Indigenous regular clients of the organisation.

Collection methods:Help on this term

Each organisation funded under the IAHP to provide Indigenous-specific primary health care records service provision in their clinical information system (CIS).

The CISs contain many variables related to individual clients, but only those specified as required for the nKPIs, aggregated for each organisation, are extracted for use.

Data are aggregated using cohort definitions and specialised software and then submitted to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) via the Health Data Portal (HDP). The HDP is the Commonwealth Department of Health’s secure web-based data submission platform.

Many CIS are able to extract, aggregate and upload the de-individualised data directly to the HDP through a direct-load process. Organisations with systems unable to complete the direct-load process are able to manually enter aggregate data directly into a web-based form through the HDP.

To avoid the complexity required to adequately describe the various permutations of the aggregate data supplied to the AIHW, the ISPHC NBEDS describes the data to be collected in terms of individual level data elements, however, only aggregate organisational level data derived from these data elements is supplied to the AIHW.

For example, to report the number of Indigenous regular clients aged 11 and over with a smoking status recorded, organisations report the count of persons where:

  • Person—Indigenous status, code N includes a value of either 'CODE 1: Aboriginal but not Torres Strait Islander origin' OR 'CODE 2: Torres Strait Islander but not Aboriginal origin' OR 'CODE 3: Both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander origin'; AND
  • Person—regular client indicator, yes/no code N includes a value of 'CODE 1: Yes'; AND
  • Person—age, total years N[NN] includes a value ≥ 11 years; AND
  • Person—smoking status recorded indicator, yes/no code N includes a value of 'CODE 1: Yes',

but do not include individual client records.

More information on the data to be supplied can be found in the User guide (AIHW 2021).

The Indigenous regular client status of a client is determined by the organisation.

National reporting arrangements

Each funded organisation should record service provision in clinical information management systems that allow the electronic transmission of data for reporting.

Periods for which data are collected and nationally collated

Data are supplied on a 6-monthly basis. The December 2021 ISPHC NBEDS describes the data census date 31 December 2021, and covers the period (depending on the indicator involved):

  • 6 months up to the census date, that is, from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021, or
  • 12 months up to the census date, that is, from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021, or
  • 24 months up to the census date, that is, from 1 January 2020 to 31 December 2021, or
  • 5 years up to the census date where the test occurred on or after 1 December 2017, that is, from 1 December 2017 to 31 December 2021.

Data are provided to the AIHW for live births.

DSS specific information:

In the ISPHC NBEDS, babies do not need to fulfil all the requirements of being an Indigenous regular client, as long as they have a file at the health organisation and attended the organisation more than once.

The birthweight is to be taken from the baby’s client record where available. Where the birthweight is not recorded in the baby’s client record, the mother’s record may be used as a source of birth details.

The birthweight may have been recorded during an appointment or received from sharing client data with other organisations, such as a hospital.

In the ISPHC NBEDS only aggregated data with CODE 1, CODE 2, or CODE 3 are provided to the AIHW.
