| The Non-Admitted Patient Emergency Department Care Database (NAPEDCD) is a compilation of electronic records of non-admitted patient service episodes from emergency departments of selected public hospitals that were classified as either Peer Group A or B as reported in Australian Hospital Statistics 2003-04 (see appendix 4 of the publication).
The NAPEDCD is compiled by the Institute from data supplied by the state and territory health authorities. For 2004-05, all states and territories were able to provide data for public hospitals in peer groups A and B that have emergency departments; however, data were not available for all accident and emergency occasions of service. Nationally, for hospitals in peer groups A and B, the overall coverage was approximately 99% of the number of emergency department occasions of service reported to the National Public Hospital Establishments Database (NPHED). Some states and territories also provided episode-level data for public hospitals which were classified to other peer groups, and these data have been included. The Northern Territory supplied episode-level data for all public hospitals, New South Wales provided data for 14 medium hospitals and 2 small hospitals, Victoria provided data for 8 medium hospitals, South Australia provided data for 1 medium hospital and Western Australia provided data for 2 medium hospitals and 2small remote hospitals. Coverage overall was 76% of the number of emergency department occasions of service reported to NPHED for all public hospitals. | |
