-1123951460517NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection00NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection-897321871625NSW Ministry of Health00NSW Ministry of HealthBackgroundThe NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection (APDC) records all inpatient separations (discharges, transfers and deaths) from all public hospitals, public psychiatric hospitals, multi-purpose services, private hospitals, and private day procedure centres in NSW. Approximately 400 facilities contribute to the data collection, which includes patient demographic information, diagnoses, procedures, and administrative information such as dates of admission and separation, source of referral to the service, service referred to on separation, and patient health insurance status. Public hospital APDC data are recorded in terms of episodes of care (EOC). An episode of care ends with the patient ending a period of stay in hospital (e.g. by discharge, transfer or death) or by becoming a different “type” of patient within the same period of stay. The categories of types of care are listed under the variable “Episode of care type”. For private hospitals, each APDC record represents a complete hospital stay. Private hospitals can be selected using the hospital type variable (private hospitals are coded as 2 or 4). APDC records are counted based on the date of separation (discharge) from hospital and do not include patients who have been admitted but not discharged from hospital.Considerations for using APDC in linkage studiesRecord linkage and data availabilityAPDC data is only available from July 2001 onwards.Records from public hospitals are made available for linkage quarterlyRecords from private hospitals are made available for linkage annually.Records from Northern Beaches Hospital (Opened in October 2018) is not yet available for linkagePatient names are not generally available for admissions to private hospitals prior to 1 July 2014. While the CHeReL is able to link these records based on other demographic details, the linkage is likely to be less accurate. Caution must therefore be exercised in interpreting results where private hospital data are involved.Diagnosis and procedure informationDiagnosis information is classified according to the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision, Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM) Procedures and interventions are classified according to the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI). The Australian Coding Standards (ACS) specifies coding standards that provide guidelines to assist users of the classifications in obtaining consistency in clinical coding nationally. Public and private hospitals in Australia use ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS to classify episodes of admitted patient care. These classifications are currently updated every two years to ensure they are fit for purpose and remain clinically current.Descriptions of the ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS codes are not provided. You can access descriptions from Independent Hospital Pricing authority .Changes to NSW Admissions PolicyFrom 15 June 2017, emergency department (ED)-only episodes of care are no longer included in admitted patient data. Consideration should be given to excluding ED-only episodes of care from analyses to provide consistency with historical data. See the HealthStats NSW Statistical methods paper for more detail.Geographical boundariesCensus year geographical boundaries (based on the patient’s residential address at the time of admission) are available for all years and for all records. When considering which version(s) of a boundary to select, you should consider which boundary versions are used in the relevant area-level data for the project (e.g. population data, SEIFA, or ARIA indices, other data source in a linked data project).Postcode is not considered a geographical boundary.Facility identifier variablesThe APDC includes fields that refer to individual facilities, including:Facility identifierFacility transferred toFacility transferred fromFor private hospitals, these fields can be supplied to researchers in three different ways: masked, consistently encrypted and identified ( REF _Ref23261243 \h Table 1).Table SEQ Table \* ARABIC 1 Example of facility identifier optionsHospital sectorActualMaskedConsistently EncryptedIdentifiedCodeLabelCodeLabelCodeLabelCodeLabelPublicX124Hosp.

CUnless specifically requested, only the masked facility identifier fields will be supplied to investigators. Access to consistently encrypted facility identifier fields is contingent on the following factors:There is a strong and clear justification for having access to a field that could potentially re-identity private hospitals within the data collection.The Data Custodian explicitly supports the request for that version of the facility identifier field.Investigators seeking access to the identified version of the facility identifier fields should also ensure that the project documentation contains a clear explanation of why the aims of the study could not be met using consistently encrypted facility identifiers.Variables for describing patient journey and transfersThe following variables are recommended for use in analyses that seek to describe the patient journey (accounting for patient transfers between hospitals):Facility identifierStay numberEpisode sequence numberEpisode start date and timeEpisode end date and timeEpisode of care typeFacility transferred toFacility transferred fromMode of separationVariables for linkage with NSW Emergency Department Data Collection (EDDC)The following APDC variables are recommended for use in analyses that seek to link the NSW APDC with any corresponding EDDC records:Facility identifierEmergency department statusSource of referralEpisode start date and timeEpisode end date and timeVersions of Classification systemsVersions of classification systems change over time. We recommend using the appropriate version identifier to assist with interpretation:Australian Refined Diagnosis related Group (AR-DRG) and Major Diagnostic Category: use AR DRG version Service Related Group (SRG): use SRG versionDiagnosis codes, procedure codes and block numbers: use clinical codesetAccess to information on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples An application to the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council (AH&MRC) ethics committee should be made for research projects for which one or more of the following apply:The experience of Aboriginal people is an explicit focus of all or part of the researchData collection is explicitly directed at Aboriginal peoplesAboriginal peoples, as a group, are to be examined in the resultsThe information has an impact on one or more Aboriginal communitiesAboriginal health funds are a source of fundingResearch that is not specifically directed at Aboriginal people or communities, such as for the total population or a sub-population (eg. rural NSW, people over 50 years old) can still potentially impact on Aboriginal people. However, an application for such research need only be made to the Committee if any one of the following applies:Any of the five factors listed above are present; orAboriginal people are known, or are likely, to be significantly over-represented in the group being studied (eg. compared to the 2.1% of the total NSW population as shown in the 2006 Census); orThe Aboriginal experience of the medical condition being studied is known, or is likely, to be different from the overall population; orThere are Aboriginal people who use the services being studied in distinctive ways, or who have distinctive barriers that limit their access to the services; or It is proposed to separately identify data relating to Aboriginal people in the results.The AH&MRC ethics committee have some specific requirements, including evidence of community engagement in the research. Relevant documents can be found on the AH&MRC website at: . If you are unsure whether an application to the AH&MRC Ethics Committee is required, please seek the advice of the Ethics Committee secretariat (T: 02 9212 4777).Costing Admitted Patient DataThe Australian Refined Diagnosis Related Groups (AR DRG) classification system provides the health care industry with a consistent method of classifying types of patients, their treatment and associated costs. The Independent Hospital Pricing Authority (IHPA) collects and maintains the National Hospital Cost Data Collection (NHCDC) for the public and private sectors of the Health Care Industry. IHPA publish cost reports for each financial year which include cost weight information by DRG and average costs per DRG. Separate cost reports are available for the private and public sector.Availability of cost information within the NSW Admitted Patient Data CollectionThe AR-DRG classification is recorded for Public Hospital Admitted Patient Data Collection (APDC) episodes of care. For private hospitals, the AR-DRG is recorded for the stay for records until June 30 2014. In 2014/15 a new system was rolled out to collect data from private hospitals. As a result, the AR-DRG classification is no longer recorded for private hospital separations.For research involving analysis or comparisons of costs, it will generally sufficient to request the AR-DRG classification and AR-DRG version for APDC records. The classifications can be mapped to average costs using the cost reports produced by IHPA.Data custodianExecutive Director, System Information and Analytics, NSW Ministry of Health.All questions relating to this dataset should be directed to:Dr Lee TaylorDirector, Epidemiology and BiostatisticsCentre for Epidemiology and EvidenceNSW Ministry of Health100 Christie StST LEONARDS NSW 2065Post:Locked Mail Bag 961NORTH SYDNEY NSW 2059Phone: 02 9391 9223Fax: 02 9391 9232E-mail: Lee.Taylor1@health..auVariable InformationVariable Description/NotesName in datasetCodesHospital typeFlag to indicate if facility is public or private- based on the source system.hospital_typeSee REF _Ref26366203 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Codes: Hospital TypeFacility type The category of the facility through which the health service is delivered.facility_typeSee REF _Ref23407626 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Codes: Facility TypePeer group Facility peer grouping (Public Hospitals only) For more information please see: peer_groupSee REF _Ref23414779 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Codes: Peer GroupAcute Hospital Flag Indicates whether or not the patient received the service at an acute facility.acute_flagRecognised public hospital flag Flag to identify whether the patient attended a facility that was a public hospital recognised by the Commonwealth Government under the Medicare Agreement.recognised_ph_flagLocal Health District of Facilityarea_identifierSee REF _Ref23408608 \h \* MERGEFORMAT Codes: Local Heath District (LHD)Facility identifier The specific hospital, nursing home or day procedure centre reporting the inpatient episode of care.
