Definition
This DSS aims to ensure national consistency in relation to defining and collecting information about care provided to sub-acute and non-acute admitted public and private patients in activity based funded public hospitals.
Sub-acute care in this DSS is identified as admitted episodes in rehabilitation care, palliative care, geriatric evaluation and management care and psychogeriatric care whereas maintenance care is identified as non-acute care.
The scope of the DSS is:
- Same day and overnight sub-acute and non-acute care episodes in designated sub-acute and non-acute care units, programs or hospitals.
- Admitted public patients provided on a contracted basis by private hospitals in designated sub-acute and non-acute care units, programs or hospitals.
- Admitted patients in rehabilitation care, palliative care, geriatric evaluation and management, psychogeriatric and maintenance care designated programs treated in the hospital-in-the-home.
Excluded from the scope are:
- Sub-acute and non-acute episodes in non-designated units, programs or hospitals.
- Hospitals operated by the Australian Defence Force, correctional authorities and Australia's external territories.
The Activity based funding: Admitted sub-acute and non-acute data set specification includes the collection and reporting of additional metadata which forms part of the broader Admitted patient care NMDS.
Data collected using this DSS can be related to national data collections:
Admitted patient palliative care NMDS
Admitted patient mental health NMDS
