Description: | Hospital separation rates for leading principle diagnoses for Australians, by Indigenous status. |
Rationale: | Monitoring hospitalisation rates for different diseases provides better information to understand which diseases are major contributors to morbidity among Indigenous Australians and where programs are succeeding and where they are not will assist in achieving the closing the gap targets. |

Disaggregation data elements: | |
Comments: | Disaggregation: Principal diagnosis at chapter level: National, selected state/territories and sex by Indigenous status. Most recent data available for 2010 CRC baseline report: 2007-08 At this stage, only data from selected state/territories are considered of acceptable quality for reporting hospitalisations of Indigenous persons (NSW, Vic, Qld, WA, SA & NT). Disaggregation by Indigenous status is reported using 2 years combined data due to small numbers. |

Further data development / collection required: | Specification: Long-term Data development is planned/underway to improve the quality of Indigenous identification in hospital administrative systems. |
Other issues caveats: | Rates are directly age-standardised to the Australian population as at 30 June 2001. Disaggregation by Indigneous status is Indigenous Australian's and other Australians (Non-Indigenous and not stated Indigenous status). National estimates adjusted for under-identification will be reported. |
