Guide for use:
The Health service utilisation cluster comprises three data elements that provide information on a prison entrant's health seeking behaviours in the community and prison. This is achieved by the combination of the three data elements: Prison entrant—individual service provider consulted indicator, yes/no code N, Prison entrant—type of service provider consulted, occupation code (ANZSCO 1st edition) N[NNN]{NN} and Health service event—prisoner location, code N.
The Health service utilisation cluster describes the following information:
