Definition

By 2014–15, improve the provision of primary care and reduce the proportion of potentially preventable hospital admissions by 7.6 per cent over the 2006–07 baseline to 8.5 per cent of total hospital admissions (Baseline specification).

There are two parts to this performance benchmark:

Improved provision of primary care
Reduced potentially preventable hospital admission

For Part 1, the measure is under development. For Part 2, the measure is defined below.

Indicator Summary

Numerator

Number of potentially preventable hospitalisations, divided into three groups and total:

vaccine-preventable (e.g. tetanus, measles, mumps, rubella).
acute conditions (e.g. ear, nose and throat infections, perforated/bleeding ulcer, pelvic inflammatory disease) (excluding dehydration and gastroenteritis).
chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes (principal diagnoses only), asthma, angina, hypertension, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
all potentially preventable hospitalisations.

Denominator

Total hospital separations

Computation

Analysis of state/territory is based on usual residence of the person.

Presented as a number and a percentage

Disaggregation

2011–12—State and territory (by three groups and total).

Some disaggregations may result in numbers too small for publication.
