Overview
The Institute compiles and reports on a range of data on hospitals, detailing the characteristics of public hospitals, non-admitted patient care, admitted patients and the care they receive in hospital, and elective surgery and emergency department waiting times.
The Institute takes active steps to improve the national consistency of these data over time.

Supplementary tables are included at the end of each chapter presenting more detailed statistics.
