Scope:
The scope of the Non-Admitted Patient Activity and Waitlist Data Collection (NAPAAWL DC) comprises all non-admitted outpatient services in Western Australia (WA). This includes:
non-admitted outpatient services provided at public hospitals
publicly-funded non-admitted outpatient services that are provided at private hospitals
non-admitted outpatient services provided by health entities under contract with the Department of Health WA.
The NAPAAWL DC includes patient-level non-admitted activity data from the following core systems:
The Open Patient Administration System (TOPAS)
Health Care And Related Information Systems / Ambulatory, Other Patient and Domiciliary (HCARe / AOD)
web-based Patient Administration System (webPAS).
Although the Allied Health System (AHS) is a corporately-managed system that provides patient-level non-admitted activity to the NAPAAWL DC, it does not meet the required reporting standard and therefore is not classified as a core system.
The addition of non-admitted outpatient data to the NAPAAWL DC from satellite systems is currently in progress.
