Collection and usage attributes | |
Comments: | The coding category definitions were developed with reference to the following metadata items in the National Health Data Dictionary Version 15: Admitted patient election status; Compensable status; Funding source for hospital patient; and Medicare eligibility status (AIHW 2010). This data element distinguishes between public and private admitted hospital patients only as it is difficult to distinguish between public and private non-admitted hospital patients, and the relevant NHDD data elements all apply to hospital patients only. Also, national data on numbers of hospital separations for public and private patients are available, whereas similar denominator data are not readily available for non-admitted patients. |
